Hm, was there a problem with the previous approach? Ie, in the surface
caps it always returns minImages as two but when it comes to creating
the swapchain if the present mode is MAILBOX then it will go ahead and
create 4 images. The parameter in the create call is also called
“minImages” not “numImages” and the spec implies it’s ok to create more
than were requested. It seems like that would just do the right thing.
