[PATCH weston v2 10/11] [RFC] Account for very large repaint window misses

[Daniel Stone]

At the bottom of weston_output_finish_frame(), code exists to account
for flips which have missed the repaint window, by shifting them to lock
on to the next repaint window rather than repainting immediately.

This code only accounted for flips which missed their target by one
repaint window. If they miss by multiples of the repaint window, adjust
them until the next repaint timestamp is in the future.

I was unable to find from discussion of the original development whether
or not this is desirable; I can see an argument both ways. Hence, RFC
tag.
