vo_opengl used to have it as sub-option, which made it very hard to pass
down option values to backends in a generic way (even if these options
were completely backend-specific). For --opengl-dcomposition we used a
VOFLAG to deal with this. Fortunately, sub-options are gone, and we can
just add it as global option.
Move the option to context_angle.c and add it as global option. I
thought about adding a mechanism to let backends declare options, which
would get magically picked up my m_config instead of having to add them
to the global option list manually (similar to VO vo_driver.options),
but decided against this complexity just for 1 or 2 backends. Likewise,
it could have been added as a single option to avoid the boilerplate of
an option struct, but then again there are probably going to be more
angle suboptions, and it's cleaner.
Add a function to egl_helpers.c for creating an EGL context and make
context_x11egl.c use it. This is meant to be generic, and should work
with other windowing APIs as well. The other EGL-using code in mpv can
be switched to it.
Until now, this has been either handled over vo.event_fd (which should
go away), or by putting event handling on a separate thread. The
backends which do the latter do it for a reason and won't need this, but
X11 and Wayland will, in order to get rid of event_fd.
Until now, we have tried to create a GL 3.0 context. The main reason for
this is that many Mesa-based drivers did not support anything better.
But some drivers (Mesa AMD) will not report a higher OpenGL version,
because their compatibility mode is restricted. While later GL features
are reported as extensions just fine, there doesn't seem to be a way to
determine or enable higher GLSL versions.
Add some more shitty hacks to try to deal with this messed up situation,
and try to probe each interesting GL version separately (starting with
3.3, then 3.2 etc.). Other backends might suffer from similar problems,
but these will have to deal with it on their own.
Probably fixes#2938, or maybe not.
Do this to make the license situation less confusing.
This change should be of no consequence, since LGPL is compatible with
GPL anyway, and making it LGPL-only does not restrict the use with GPL
code.
Additionally, the wording implies that this is allowed, and that we can
just remove the GPL part.
Now common.c only contains the code for the function loader, while
context.c contains the backend loader/dispatcher.
Not calling it "backend.c", because the central struct is called
MPGLContext.
