pipewire capturer: Reduce the amount of copying

Improves the capture latency by reducing the amount of
copying needed from the frame. We keep track of the
damaged region of previous frame and union it with
the damaged region of this frame and only copy this
union of the frame over. X11 capturer already has
such synchronization in place.

The change is beneficial especially when there are
small changes on the screen (e.g. clock ticking).
For a 4k screen with 128 cores, I observed the
capture latencies drop from 5 - 8 ms to 0 ms when the
system is left idle. This is in line with the X11
capturer.

WebRTC is a free, open software project that provides browsers and mobile applications with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple APIs. The WebRTC components have been optimized to best serve this purpose.

Our mission: To enable rich, high-quality RTC applications to be developed for the browser, mobile platforms, and IoT devices, and allow them all to communicate via a common set of protocols.

The WebRTC initiative is a project supported by Google, Mozilla and Opera, amongst others.

Development
