Actually not strictly correct -- st_init_limits is used as part of the
GLX_MESA_query_renderer dance. It does not currently receive a ctx
because one doesn't necessarily exist, but it definitely knows what
API it is in all cases, so that could be passed in as an argument.

However that would be more change for what seems like no reason. Other
dependencies can be more complicated (the circular dependencies start
hitting when you start depending on versions of things), so the
post-fixup approach is still going to be needed. And this will all get
backed out, so no need to modify a bunch of surrounding code.
