Evil hack to work around SDL bug 4700.

Check if we're in the requested mode after the fullscreen window was
created. If not: Try to switch again in the requested mode by calling
SDL_SetWindowDisplayMode(). If that's successfull set the new window
size with SDL_SetWindowSize(). That shouldn't be necessary, at least to
SDLs crappy doku, but without the subsequent SDL_GetWindowDisplayMode()
call fails with 'Invalid Window'. Use that call to check if we're now
in the requested mode. If yes, process. If not abort and trigger the
fallback magic. It'll set `r_mode 4` and `vid_fullscreen 0`.

Caveat: In the worst case this will switch the display mode 3 times.
To create the window, to work around the bug and to set a refresh rate.
No problem for flat panels, but my unforgotten Trinitron CRT would
have cried in pain.
