Linux: server side backing stores

This converts Linux to using server-side backing stores. Rather than
keeping a backing store in heap memory in the browser, we create a
pixmap in the X server. This means that expose messages don't require
us to transport any images to the X server, we can just direct it to
paint from the pixmap. Also, scrolling can be performed server side
also. This greatly improves performance over remote X.

Also, shared memory transport to the X server is implemented. Shared
memory segments can be created in the renderer and mapped directly
into the X server.
