mesa: if MESA_DEBUG=context, create a debug context

A number of drivers report useful debug/perf information accessible
through GL_ARB_debug_output and with debug contexts (i.e. setting the
GLX_CONTEXT_DEBUG_BIT_ARB flag).  But few applications actually use
the GL_ARB_debug_output extension.

This change lets one set the MESA_DEBUG env var to "context" to force-set
a debug context and report debug/perf messages to stderr (or whatever
file MESA_LOG_FILE is set to).  This is a useful debugging tool.

The small change in st_api_create_context() is needed so that
st_update_debug_callback() gets called to hook up the driver debug
callbacks when ST_CONTEXT_FLAG_DEBUG was not set, but MESA_DEBUG=context.

v2: use %.*s format string instead of allocating temporary buffer.
