Fixes the window re-creation in the KMSDRM video backend.

Hi there,

Recreating a program's window requires to re-create the EGL and GBM surfaces, and also to call the SetCRTC function each time.
This patch does that, corrects the variable type for egl_surface_dirty to SDL_bool, and initializes the windata fields properly.

It fixes the CommanderGenius engine, that would prevously show a black screen when changing video settings, since the game re-creates it's window every time video/display settings are changed.

This patch works cleanly against current libSDL2 HG version.
Please merge.

Thanks
