Change the way the update area is tracked during paint

First of all we track the current update area during an
update in window->active_update_area. This will be used later
in end_paint to know the damaged area.

Secondly we keep track of old update areas for the last 2
frames. This will later allow us to reuse old framebuffer
contents in double or tripple buffer setups, only painting
what has changed since then.
