Change SF power hints to use early frame predictions
Currently we issue hints at the end of the frame reporting what happened
that frame. However, this is often too late anyway and lacks critical
information not known until after the frame completes, like gpu timing.
By waiting until the next frame start and using those timings along with
information about gpu duration, the new expected present time, and the
new wakeup time, we can instead use those timings to predict the
duration of the upcoming frame and signal in advance of a frame drop.
This patch also changes how and where frame timing is done and measures
gpu duration so we can predict if a cpu speedup can help gpu composition
happen earlier, preventing a drop that way.
