Single buffered clients (LP: #1194333)

[Daniel van Vugt]

It does kind of work now, providing you honor the limitation of not 
producing and consuming at the same time. And it can easily be fixed to 
work adequately (e.g. for dumb clients like mir_demo_client_fingerpaint 
or static raster image windows).

I would rather just implement it. It's trivial to implement and maintain.
