glxgears: Log a message if synched to vblank

Tries to use either GLX_MESA_swap_control or GLX_SGI_video_sync to
detect whether the display is synchronized to the vertical blank.  If
it detects this, a message will be printed.  HOPEFULLY this will
prevent some of the bug reports such as "glxgears only gets 59.7fps.
What's wrong with my driver?"
