drm_hwcomposer: Support DisplayCommand.expectedPresentTime

DisplayCommand.expectedPresentTime indicates that the HWC should present
the composition as close to the desired time as possible. It may be that
the desired time is some number of vsync periods in the future.

A drm atomic commit will always present at the next vsync, and there is
no mechanism for userspace to indicate a desired present time.

Lacking a kernel uAPI to support this, an alternative is to sleep in
userspace until the next expected vsync aligns with the expected present
time.
