[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 3/6] egl/main: Update README.txt

The driver search/load is not done at eglGetDisplay (or eglOpenDisplay
as the readme called it) time, but during eglInitialize().

Drop _eglMain (available only for external drivers) reference. Mention
we use function(s), specific to the built-in driver(s).
