    client: Fix frame callback leak when window unexposed · 93058de8

    If we get a new update while already waiting for a frame callback
    and the window is unexposed, we would previously destroy the
    callback and issue a new one. But if the window is unexposed, the
    compositor may accumulate these and answer all the callbacks when
    the window is shown again. This may cause overflows and the client
    to be killed by the compositor in some cases where the number of
    pending updates is too high.
    
    To avoid this, we skip requesting new callbacks if there is already
    one pending and the window is unexposed. When the window is
    re-exposed, the existing pending callback will be triggered anyway,
    and until then there is no need to repeatedly verify that we
    still cannot render.
    
    One risk is that there may be compositors which never issues a response
    to the callbacks requested while the window was unexposed. But that
    would probably be in conflict with the specification and possibly cause
    other issues as well. The patch was tested with Weston and Mutter, and
    seems to improve behavior in both of these at least.
    
    [ChangeLog][Client] Fixed a bug where Wayland clients would continuously
    request frame callbacks while unexposed, which potentially caused crashes
    on some compositors.
