Author: Po Lu <luangruo@yahoo.com>
Commit: Po Lu <luangruo@yahoo.com>

    Implement double buffering on MS Windows
    
    * etc/NEWS: Announce changes.
    * src/w32fns.c (w32_set_inhibit_double_buffering): New function.
    (w32_wnd_proc):
    (Fx_create_frame):
    (w32_create_tip_frame): Set `inhibit-double-buffering' parameter.
    (w32_frame_parm_handlers): Add new handler.
    
    * src/w32term.c (w32_show_back_buffer):
    (w32_release_paint_buffer): New functions.
    (w32_frame_up_to_date): Show back buffer if applicable.
    (w32_buffer_flipping_unblocked_hook): New hook.
    (w32_scroll_run): Use BitBlt to scroll instead of window
    scrolling functions.
    (w32_scroll_bar_clear): Don't clear scroll bars when double
    buffered.
    (w32_read_socket): Flip buffers after reading input events in
    some cases.
    (w32_free_frame_resources): Free back buffer.
    (w32_create_terminal): Add new hook.
    
    * src/w32term.h (struct w32_output): New fields for handling
    back buffers.
    * src/w32xfns.c (select_palette): Fix indentation.
    (get_frame_dc, release_frame_dc): Return back buffer when
    appropriate and set dirty flag.

+*** Emacs now supports double buffering on MS Windows to reduce flicker.
+This leads to a noticable reduction in the amount of graphics flicker
+during redisplay on many systems, but can also make painting slower.
+If that happens, it can be disabled by setting the
+'inhibit-double-buffering' frame parameter.
