shm: Add shm_buffer ref and shm_pool unref functions

Sometimes the compositor wants to make sure a shm pool doesn't disappear
out from under it.

For example, in Enlightenment, rendering happens in a separate thread
while the main thread can still dispatch events.  If a client is destroyed
during rendering, all its resources are cleaned up and its shm pools are
unmapped.  This causes the rendering thread to segfault.

This patch adds a way for the compositor to increment the refcount of the
shm pool so it can't disappear, and decrement it when it's finished.

The ref/unref are asymmetrical (ref returns the pool) because it's
possible the buffer itself will be gone when you need to unref the pool.
