The screen goes blank (black) briefly during display config changes, on desktop (mesa platform).

TEST CASE:
   1. Run mir_demo_server_shell
   2. Start a client you can see on screen
   3. Invoke a display config change with screen rotation: Ctrl+Alt+(arrow key)

Expected: Instant rotation
Observed: Screen blanks briefly before rotating.

The blackness is very brief, but I think we can do better. By avoiding unnecessary destruction and reconstruction of mesa::DisplayBuffer's each time.
