Add a glfwSwapBuffersWithDamage() symbol

This new API helps the user’s compositor reduce memory bandwidth and
thus power usage by only re-rendering a bunch of dirty rectangles
instead of the entire application buffer.

There is no guarantee that it will effectively get used, it is perfectly
valid to continue damaging the entire buffer instead like with
glfwSwapBuffers() in some cases.
