popn: fix subscreen redraw option causing graphical glitches (#854)

## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
#0

## Description of change
Old behavior: Forced redraw presented the subscreen every main frame,
even when the game already presented it, causing duplicate presents and
tearing in popn (was fine in sdvx)

New behavior: Forced redraw acts as a fallback, presenting only when the
game skips or fails a subscreen update.

## Testing
Popn - no more glitching
Nabla - no regression
