Until Pie, the ConfigStore HAL was supposed to configure SurfaceFlinger.
Google, in their infinite wisdom, got bored of this approach and decided that sysprops (which
ConfigStore was supposed to supplant, because of their _obvious drawbacks) were once again all the rage.

The ConfigStore HAL is being deprecated and will apparently be removed in R, see the deprecation notice.

Translate the uppercase makevars that surfaceflinger.mk used to supply as cflags to configstore internals to sysprops.

force_hwc_copy_for_virtual_displays = TARGET_FORCE_HWC_FOR_VIRTUAL_DISPLAYS
max_frame_buffer_acquired_buffers = NUM_FRAMEBUFFER_SURFACE_BUFFERS

Note: The uppercase vars must be kept because hardware/qcom/display still relies on them at build time.

Further adjustments follow in the platform repos.
max_frame_buffer_acquired_buffers will be overriden there for most devices.

For reference:
SurfaceFlingerProperties.sysprop
