[Mesa-dev] [PATCH v2] gallium/hud: control visibility at startup and runtime.

- env GALLIUM_HUD_VISIBLE: control default visibility
- env GALLIUM_HUD_SIGNAL_TOGGLE: toggle visibility via signal
---
Thanks for the feedback.

I believe all the suggested changes have been implemented.

One note, all the logic except for the toggle was already in hud_create() and
not hud_draw().

On the subject of allowing the user to specify the signo to use. It was
suggested in the original thread that using a fixed signal might end up stealing
signals from the parent application. Seems like the user should except funny
behavior if they set the signal to something like SIGKILL. I am not opposed to a
fixed signo or alternatively providing a default. Something like:

GALLIUM_HUD_TOGGLE_SIGNAL=-1 # (results in SIGUSR1)
