Tear free rendering

TearFree controls tearing prevention using the hardware page flipping mechanism. In the Xorg repository the TearFree option was been enabled by default quite some time ago, but this code was never released. XLibre provides the TearFree option enabled by default for the modesetting driver in its release.
