terminal: grdev: schedule virtual frame events if hw doesn't support it

Whenever we cannot use hardware frame events, we now schedule a virtual
frame event to make sure applications don't have to do this. Usually,
applications render only on data changes, but we can further reduce
render-time by also limiting rendering to vsyncs.
