[PATCH] glx/dri3: Provide error diagnostics when DRI3 allocation fails

Instead of just segfaulting in the driver when a buffer allocation fails,
report error messages indicating what went wrong so that we can debug things.

As a simple example, chromium wraps Mesa in a sandbox which doesn't allow
access to most syscalls, including the ability to create shared memory
segments for fences. Before, you'd get a simple segfault in mesa and your 3D
acceleration would fail. Now you get:

$ chromium --disable-gpu-blacklist

[10618:10618:0930/200525:ERROR:webgraphicscontext3d_command_buffer_impl.cc(256)] Failed to initialize command buffer.

This made it pretty easy to diagnose the problem in the referenced bug report.
