[PATCH xserver] glx: check for indirect context in CreateContextAttribsARB()

Commit 99f0365b "Add a command line argument for disabling indirect GLX"
added a test to check if indirect context are enabled in
`DoCreateContext()` but `__glXDisp_CreateContextAttribsARB()` doesn't
use `DoCreateContext()` and doesn't check if indirect context is
enabled.
As a result, clients can still manage to create indirect contexts using
`glXCreateContextAttribsARB()` even if indirect contexts are disabled,
which can possibly crash Xservers such as Xwayland or Xephyr when the
context is destroyed.
To avoid the issue, check for `enableIndirectGLX` in
`__glXDisp_CreateContextAttribsARB()` as well.
Fixes: 99f0365b "Add a command line argument for disabling indirect GLX"
