[Spice-devel] [PATCH x11spice] Use separate buffer for primary surface to fix graphical corruption

[Brendan Shanks]

The 'display->fullscreen' SHM segment was previously being used for both
x11spice's internal change scanning and as the spice primary surface.
I don't think spice wants anything else writing to the primary surface,
and this caused sporadic test failures and graphical corruption.

Create a separate SHM segment 'display->primary' and use it only for the
primary surface.
