shm: new function, shm_scroll()
This function "scrolls" the buffer by the specified number of (pixel)
rows.

The idea is move the image offset by re-sizing the underlying memfd
object. I.e. to scroll forward, increase the size of the memfd file,
and move the pixman image offset forward (and the Wayland SHM buffer
as well).

Only increasing the file size would, obviously, cause the memfd file
to grow indefinitely. To deal with this, we "punch" a whole from the
beginning of the file to the new offset. This frees the associated
memory.

Thus, while we have a memfd file whose size is (as seen by
e.g. fstat()) is ever growing, the actual file size is always the
original buffer size.

Some notes:

* FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE can be quite slow when the number of used pages
  to drop is large.

* all normal fallocate() usages have been replaced with ftruncate(),
  as this is *much* faster. fallocate() guarantees subsequent writes
  wont fail. I.e. it actually reserves (disk) space. While it doesn't
  allocate on-disk blocks for on-disk files, it *does* zero-initialize
  the in-memory blocks. And this is slow. ftruncate() doesn't do this.

TODO: implement reverse scrolling (i.e. a negative row count).

shm: automatic buffer purging is now delayed one cycle
This ensures we don't purge a buffer that a user is holding a
reference to.

shm: associate a 'cookie' with each buffer
When re-using a buffer from cache, only re-use ones with a matching
cookie.

This prevents contention between multiple terminal windows.
