[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] [EGL/GLX driver] Try first a default lookup for glXGetProcAddress before loading dynamic lib.

GLX functions are sometimes directly available in the current binary. In such
cases, we do not need any alternate library loaded using dlopen. Otherwise,
dlopen may find the wrong libGL library and get functions that conflicts with
the current loaded ones.

For example, on Debian Sid with nvidia binary drivers, using mesa's libEGL with
GLX driver leads to wrong glXGetFBConfigs symbol loaded (or loaded twice?),
which leads to "GLX: failed to create any config" error message as the
glXGetFBConfigs symbol seems to return garbage. If the binary is linked with
nvidia's libGL, the GLX symbols are already available.
Without this patch, convert_fbconfig (src/egl/drivers/glx/egl_glx.c:233) fails
for every config found, after glXGetFBConfigAttrib(... GLX_RENDER_TYPE, ...)
call, as the value returned has GLX_COLOR_INDEX_BIT and not GLX_RGBA_BIT.
