For payloads with UI based on CBGFX, they usually start by calling
clear_canvas or clear_screen and then draw the UI elements. However,
that makes the screen flicker.
A typical solution is to identify and minimize the area to redraw.
However for payloads with complicated UI and do not care about latency,
an alternative is to enable buffered I/O.
The new enable_graphics_buffer() will redirect all graphics I/O
into an invisible working buffer. To flush (redraw) the buffer to the
real screen, call flush_graphics_buffer(). To stop buffering, call
disable_graphics_buffer().
BUG=None
TEST=Add the enable, flush and disable calls to payload 'depthcharge',
built a firmware and boots into Chrome OS recover UI. No more
flickering. The average rendering time on x86 platform is 1.2ms.
