Use GLX_SGIX_visual_select_group to hide the depth-30 formats after the
depth-24 ones. We're already doing this for similar reasons to mask
Composite's synthetic argb8888 visual on rgb565 displays. Technically
there's nothing preventing you from doing this purely client-side, but
properly this is a server-side change (and an easy one).
