Totally overhauls the Workspace Overview capture loop by migrating from a CPU-bound Shared Memory wl_shm capture mechanism to a fully hardware-accelerated DMA-BUF pipeline.

By keeping window captures entirely on the GPU via libdrm and gbm, we completely eliminate massive PCI-e memory copying overhead and unblock the UI thread.
