virgl: Use buffer copy transfers to avoid waiting when mapping
We typically need to wait for a buffer to become ready before mapping,
so that we don't write new contents while the host is still using the
old contents. However, if we are allowed to discard the contents of the
mapped buffer range, then we can avoid waiting by using a staging buffer
range which we guarantee to never be busy, copying from the staging
buffer range to the target buffer in the host.
This commit implements this optimization by utilizing a dedicated
u_upload_mgr for the staging buffer.
