[PATCH v3 weston 2/4] gl-renderer: try to create a GLES3 context

GL drivers might allow using GLES3 features even in GLES2 contexts, but
that's not always the case. To make sure we can use GLES3, first try to
create a GLES3 context and then fallback to GLES2 on failure.

The reported GL version is used to determine which GLES version is
actually available.
