Subject: Bug 1202 - Add support of Adaptive Vsync via
 [GLX|WGL]_EXT_swap_control_tear

[GLX|WGL]_EXT_swap_control_tear extensions support
asynchronous buffer swaps, i.e. adaptive Vsync.

<https://www.opengl.org/wiki/SwapInterval_aka_vsync#Adaptive_Vsync>
<https://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/EXT/wgl_swap_control_tear.txt>
<https://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/EXT/glx_swap_control_tear.txt>

<http://keithp.com/blogs/async_flip/>

The extensions utilizes a negative interval value,
enabling late swaps to occur without synchronization to the video frame.

Hence '-1' has new semantics, previously it was the 'default value'
of 'untouched vsync interval'.

New default is:
  - 0 for unrealized context
  - 1 for realized context

+++

It requires [GLX|WGL]_EXT_swap_control,
hence we shall ensure to use use this extension
in the implementation of GLContext.setSwapInterval(..).

+++

Mesa3D seems to support GLX_SGI_swap_control only.

+++

Implemented on Windows and X11.

+++

On GNU/Linux using NVidia driver w/ my setup(*), sadly the query
  GLX.glXQueryDrawable(displayHandle, drawable.getHandle(), GLX.GLX_LATE_SWAPS_TEAR_EXT, val);
always returns zero here, indicating async vsync is not supported.

(Queried the attribute for every frame in windowed or fullscreen mode)
