Yuxuan Shui 86d3739374 core: frame pacing
Use frame timing and render time statistic to pace frames.

Right now the criteria are simple:

* Don't render multiple frames in one vblank cycle. Otherwise the
  rendered frame will be delay multiple cycles, which isn't ideal.
* Start rendering as late as possible while still hitting vblank.

Refresh rate is estimated from a rolling average of frame timing. Render
time is predicted from the rolling maximum of past 128 frames. The
window size still needs to be investigated.

Remove glFinish calls and GL_MaxFramesAllowed=1, frame pacing superseeds
them.

Professionals might laugh at how rudimentary this is, but hopefully this
is better than what we had before. Which is absolutely nothing at all.
