Improvement: --glx-use-copysubbuffermesa

- GLX backend: Add --glx-use-copysubbuffermesa, to use
  MESA_copy_sub_buffer to do partial screen update. Huge performance
  boost on mesa drivers for partial screen updates, but does not work
  for nvidia-drivers and may break VSync. Automagically overrides
  --glx-copy-from-front.

- Add rect_is_fullscreen() to reuse code. Misc changes.
