Bug 975 - GLJPanel's OffscreenDrawable shall not double swap - Fix auto-swap mechanism ; Refined API doc getDefaultReadBuffer() ; Add GLDrawableUtil.swapBuffersBeforeRead(..)

Commit 82f679b064784213591b460fc5eaa1f5f196fbd1 which introduces the default swap-buffers
mechanism is erroneous:

The OffscreenBack backend requires the following operation order:

Order-1:
  [1] - GL display
  [2] - GL swapBuffers (always due to single-buffer non-MSAA or MSAA offscreen drawable)
  [3] - readPixels

+++

Commit 82f679b064784213591b460fc5eaa1f5f196fbd1 however introduced:

Order-2:
  [a] - GL display
  [b] - readPixels
  [c] - GL swapBuffers (always due to single-buffer non-MSAA or MSAA offscreen drawable)

since [a] and [b] happened in Updater's display method, and [c] followed the same
triggered by GLAutoDrawableHelper.

+++

The proof, commit d46d9ad8f998a7128d9f023294d5f489673d6d8a, is faulty,
since it always included the 'snapshot' GL event listener
which turned-off auto-swap and swapped before read-pixels.
TL;DR it enforced proper Order-1.

+++

This fix allows the Backend to intercept disable GLDrawableHelper's setAutoSwapBufferMode(..)
and perform the auto-swap mode itself in the proper Order-1.

The unit test has been refined to optionally disable the snapshot
to validate auto-swap mode.

+++

Refined GLBase and GLContext's API doc for 'getDefaultReadBuffer()'

+++

Add GLDrawableUtil.swapBuffersBeforeRead(..)
and reuse it for TileRendererBase (original impl.).
