Allowing backing buffers to be allocated on demand. In addition, the shared memory manager tracks buffer acquisition history (in Wayland EGL parlance 'buffer age'), allowing the acquiring code to perform a delta initialization (apply changes from previously acquired buffers to the most recent, as oppose to a full buffer initialization).
In particular, the shared memory manager, maintains a shared memory pool, wherein individual buffers, belonging to separate buffer groups (which all have the same size) are allocated from. A LRU cache is then used on top of this to keep a hot cycle (i.e. swap chain) available. Finally, the acquiring code, caches individual buffer damage in a ring buffer to be able to apply the aforementioned delta initialization.
This PR is my completion of the work started in #250.
