gallium: Add a dumb drm/kms winsys backed swrast provider
Add a new winsys and target that can be used with a dri2 state tracker and loader instead of drisw. This allows to use gbm as a dri2/image loader and avoid the extra copy from the backbuffer to the shadow frontbuffer. The new driver is called "kms_swrast", and is loaded by gbm as a fallback, because it is only useful with the gbm platform (as no buffer sharing is possible) To force select the driver set the environment variable GBM_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE [Emil Velikov] - Rebase on top of gallium megadriver. - s/text/test/ in configure.ac (Spotted by Andreas Pokorny). - Add scons support for winsys/sw/kms-dri and fix the build. - Provide separate DriverAPI, due to different InitScreen hook.
