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.
