Add support for forced VSYNC using the EGLFS platform plugin.

Before a buffer swap the new QEglFSHooks::waitForVSync method is
called which looks at QT_QPA_EGLFS_FORCEVSYNC and - if that is set
and non-null - calls ioctl with the FBIO_WAITFORVSYNC request on
the framebuffer device.

This is required on some embedded platforms where the driver does not
support VSYNC yet the Kernel provides a generic implementation.

I tested this using QML_RENDER_TIMING=1 which proofs that the frame
rate for an example of mine drops from >125fps to a straight ~60fps
with a few frames that take ~33ms (i.e. 30fps) as expected for VSYNC.

To prevent excessive open/close calls on the frame buffer device
per frame, the file descriptor is now cached. To keep the QEglFSHooks
interface as clean as possible this is done via a global static in
qeglfshooks_stub.cpp and initialized and freed in platformInit and
platformDestroy.
