drm_fb: use shadow buffers when device prefers it

I noticed the sdl_fb backend seemed to often have significantly
better FPS in fullscreen use vs. drm_fb fullscreen.  Looking at
the libdrm api I saw this PREFER_SHADOW capability and noticed my
laptop's gpu driver sets it... With this change, despite the
additional memcpy(), the drm fullscreen FPS seems significantly
better.

A subsequent commit will make this an overridable runtime setting
