Add captureLayersSync function
This captureLayers function in SurfaceFlinger will wait on the requested binder thread for the screenshot composition to complete before returning the buffer to the client. This is different than the existing captureLayers method since the other request is oneway and invokes the screen capture callback on a different binder thread. This is needed because there are places in system server that request screenshots while holding a lock and then wait synchronously on the results. While waiting on the buffer and holding the lock, additional two way binder calls can be made into system server that are waiting to acquire the same lock. If there are enough requests, we may run out of binder threads and then the screen capture result can't be posted back to system server because it needs a free binder thread. This will result in a deadlock because the lock that the screenshot request is holding can never be unlocked without a free binder thread. Binder threads will never be freed up because they are waiting to acquire the lock. The async screencapture code is still useful for cases where there's no global lock being held while waiting on results or the results is posted to another thread.
