egl/glx: Remove egl_glx driver
Mesa now has a real, feature-rich EGL implementation on X11 via xcb. Therefore I believe there is no longer a practical need for the egl_glx driver. Furthermore, egl_glx appears to be unmaintained. The most recent nontrivial commit to egl_glx was 6baa5f1 on 2011-11-25. Tested by running weston-smoke in windowed Weston on X with i965.
