mir_render_surface_get_buffer_stream

[Daniel van Vugt]

Indeed that was my position a couple of months ago. But I was swayed by 
the team's bullishness about ABI/API breaks before "1.0". I mentioned 
that was still only an ideal though...

More realistically I think we'll probably end up keeping MirSurface as 
is, because that nomenclature has permeated too far beyond a single 
codebase already. That just makes finding a better name for 
MirRenderSurface a bit more difficult.
