libretroadmin d7256bb7fe libretro: a frame the frontend will not show is not rendered ...

retro_run asks GET_AUDIO_VIDEO_ENABLE before the frame is made, and with
video left out a render to the screen is not drawn; the vblank reports no
new picture. Renders to a texture are still drawn, the game reads them
back, and so is a picture the processor wrote to the framebuffer, which
is taken only once. In fast-forward the frontend's frameskip asks for a
frame at the display's rate, so the GPU renders at that rate rather than
at the emulation's: at a high internal resolution under threaded video
the renders nobody saw queued up far enough to stall the picture.

The headless test runs the disc with video asked for on one frame in
four: the program's verdict and its sound are those of a run with every
frame drawn, and far fewer frames are handed over.
