drm_hwcomposer: Rework HWC frontends buffer management

Change summary:

- Use BufferInfo instead of native_buffer to configure the HwcLayer.
- Extend buffer properties with slot info.
- Provide fence and active slot ID separate from the buffer.
- Move swapchain tracking into HWC2. HWC3 doesn't need that.

Why:

- Support more flexible resource management control from the frontend
  side,  which is required by HWC3 API.
- Move more Android-specific data types to the frontend module.
