  Mir server crashes with "std::exception::what: Failed to get front

Bug description:
  Mir server crashes with "std::exception::what: Failed to get front
  buffer object" when trying to fullscreen/bypass a surface in
  multimonitor clone mode.

  ERROR: /home/dan/bzr/mir/fullscreen/src/platform/fatal/fatal.cpp(55): Throw in function void mir::fatal_error_except(const char*, ...)
  Dynamic exception type: N5boost16exception_detail10clone_implINS0_19error_info_injectorISt13runtime_errorEEEE
  std::exception::what: Failed to get front buffer object

  Mesa only has a fixed limit of (four?) front framebuffer objects
  available. So somehow the combination of fullscreen bypass and
  multimonitor is making us ask for more than that... (?)

  Sorry I don't have a test case to reproduce it easily yet without
  using my own custom branch.
