[PATCH 2/2] hw/display/vmware_vga: do not discard screen updates

[Carwyn Ellis <carwynellis@gmail.com>]

In certain circumstances, typically when there is lots changing on the
screen, updates will be discarded resulting in garbled output.

This change firstly increases the screen update FIFO size to ensure it's
large enough to accomodate all updates deferred in a given screen
refresh cycle.

When updating the screen all updates are applied to ensure the display
output is rendered correctly.
