libweston/backends: Move damage flush into backends

Derek Foreman requested to merge derekf/weston:damage_backends into main

Currently we flush damage for the "primary plane" every repaint, but this is folly.

The drm backend may skip rendering entirely if using an all-planes composition. This could leave the renderer plane in a messy state if a surface on an overlay plane disappears.

Instead, let the backends flush the primary plane damage when they know they need to render.

Fixes #864 (closed)
