egl/wayland: Use roundtrips when awaiting buffer release

In get_back_bo, we use wl_display_dispatch_queue() to block and wait for
a buffer release event. However, not all Wayland compositors flush the
client socket on posting a buffer-release event, so by only blocking
client-side, we may block indefinitely, or at least need to wait for an
input event / frame completion to arrive for the compositor to flush.

We now use dispatch_queue as a first pass, but if our entire buffer pool
is exhausted, use a roundtrip (an immediately-triggered wl_callback) to
ensure that the compositor flushes out our release event immediately.
