Uses the new DRI2SwapLimit() API of X-Server 1.12+
to allow to change the maximum number of pending
swaps on a drawable before the OpenGL client is
throttled by the server.
The new optional xorg.conf parameter "SwapLimit"
allows to select a new swap limit >= 1. The default
swap limit is 2 for triple-buffering on XOrg 1.12+,
1 for double-buffering on older servers, as we can't
change the swap limit there.

+A value of 1 corresponds to double-buffering. A value of 2 corresponds
+to triple-buffering. Higher values may allow higher framerate, but also
+increase lag for interactive applications, e.g., games. Nouveau currently
+supports a maximum value of 2 on XOrg 1.12+ and a maximum of 1 on older
servers.
