mesa: new MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR env var

If set to year X, only report extensions up to that year.  This is a
work-around for games that try to copy the extensions string to a fixed
size buffer and overflow.  If a game was released in year X, setting
MESA_EXTENSION_MAX_YEAR to that year will likely fix the problem.

 A value such as "GL_EXT_foo -GL_EXT_bar" will enable the GL_EXT_foo extension
 and disable the GL_EXT_bar extension.

+This is to work-around a bug in some games where the extension string is
+copied into a fixed-size buffer without truncating.

+to crash.
+This is a work-around for that.
