For meta-demo use cases like alphazed is experimenting with, it's
desirable to change the window title from "rototiller" to
"alphazed" or whatever if in windowed mode.
This adds a way to do that in the obvious fashion...
--title="alphazed" etc.

Snapshotting made page alloc/free more frequent, and
modules/mixer really hammers on snapshots in fade mode... drizzle
as well, but mixer snapshots both module outputs per frame.
So by keeping these around the reclaimed page snapshots can be
held onto at within the fb as spares for quicker allocation. In
practice it should just hit a high water mark of a working set
for spare pages, once in a steady state, assuming snapshots
aren't leaking.
Future commits will replicate this change in {drm,sdl}_fb

I thought the build was already using -Wall but that seems to not
be the case, maybe got lost somewhere along the line or messed up
in configure.ac
After forcing a build with -Wall -Werror, these showed up.
Fixed up in the obvious way, nothing too scary.

This commit adds passing the settings instance to til_setup_new()
which is used for deriving a path for the setup via
til_settings_print_path() on the supplied settings.
That path gets an allocated copy left in the returned
til_setup_t at til_setup_t.path
This path will exist for the lifetime of the til_setup_t, to be
freed along with the rest of the baked setup instance when the
refcount reaches 0.
The incoming til_settings_t is only read @ til_setup_new() in
constructing the path, no reference is kept. Basically the
til_settings_t* is just passed in for convenience reasons, since
constructing the path needs memory and may fail, this approach
lets the existing til_setup_new() call error handling also
capture the path allocation failures as-is turning
til_setup_new() into a bit more of a convenience helper.
Note that now all code may assume a til_setup_t has a set and
valid til_setup_t.path, which should be useful for context
creates when a setup is available.

Commit 7c8086020 switched the til_setup_new() api to support NULL
free_func for free().
This mechanical change pivots to that instead of the awkwardly
cast free() parameters.

For recursive settings the individual setting being described
needs to get added to a potentially different settings instance
than the one being operated on at the top of the current
setup_func phase.
The settings instance being passed around for a setup_func to
operate on is constified, mainly to try ensure modules don't
start directly mucking with the settings. They're supposed to
just describe what they want next and iterate back and forth,
with the front-end creating the settings from the returned descs
however is appropriate, eventually building up the settings to
completion.
But since it's the setup_func that decides which settings
instance is appropriate for containing the setting.. at some
point it must associate a settings instance with the desc it's
producing, one that is going to be necessarily written to.
So here I'm just turning the existing til_setting_desc_t to a
"spec", unchanged. And introducing a new til_setting_desc_t
embedding the spec, accompanied by a non-const til_settings_t*
"container".
Now what setup_funcs use to express settings are a spec,
otherwise identically to before. Instead of cloning a desc to
allocate it for returning to the front-end, the desc is created
from a spec with the target settings instance passed in.
This turns the desc step where we take a constified settings
instance and cast it into a non-const a more formal act of going
from spec->desc, binding the spec to a specific settings
instance. It will also serve to isolate that hacky cast to a
til_settings function, and all the accessors of
til_setting_desc_t needing to operate on the containing settings
instance can just do so.
As of this commit, the container pointer is just sitting in the
desc_t but isn't being made use of or even assigned yet. This is
just to minimize the amount of churn happening in this otherwise
mostly mechanical and sprawling commit.
There's also been some small changes surrounding the desc
generators and plumbing of the settings instance where there
previously wasn't any. It's unclear to me if desc generators
will stay desc generators or turn into spec generators. For now
those are mostly just used by the drm_fb stuff anyways, modules
haven't made use of them, so they can stay a little crufty
harmlessly for now.

It seems like it might be most ergonomic and convenient for
everything to just use til_fb_fragment_t and rely on ops.submit
to determine if the fragment is a page or not, and if it is how
to submit it.
This commit brings things into that state of the world, it feels
kind of gross at the til_fb_page_*() API. See the large comment
in til_fb.c added by this commit for more information.
I'm probably going to just run with this for now, it can always
get cleaned up later. What's important is to get the general
snapshotting concept and functionality in place so modules can
make use of it. There will always be things to cleanup in this
messy tangle of a program.

The immediate impetus for adding this is to enable running
rototiller even on headless machines just for the sake of getting
some FPS measurements.
It'd be nice to get a sense for what FPS rototiller would
experience on larger modern machines like big EPYC or
Threadripper systems. But it seems most of those I can get
access to via others running them on work hardware or the like
can at most just run it over ssh without any display or risk of
disrupting the physical console.
But this is probably also useful for testing/debugging purposes,
especially since it doesn't bother to synchronize flips on
anything not even a timer. So a bunch of display complexity is
removed running with video=mem as well as letting the framerate
run unbounded.
Having said that, it might be nice to add an fps=N setting where
mem_fb uses a plain timer for scheduling the flips.
Currently the only setting is size=WxH identical to the sdl_fb
size= setting, defaulting to 640x480.
