exo: Improve frame callbacks.
Use the compositor frame ack instead of begin-frame callback to trigger these callbacks. The frame ack is sufficient to prevent frames from being dropped, and provides minimal latency back-pressure for clients that implement more advanced scheduling. This makes it possible to improve scheduling of frames for Linux apps significantly. Sommelier can have the next frame prepared as a dmabuf and ready to commit when we receive the callback. This minimizes the chance that we'll miss a frame.
