Summary:
Currently, KWin is not able to detect Radeon GPUs with GCN architecture.
This patch tries to address that.

Summary:
The renderer string does not contain "Gallium 0.4 on" anymore,
instead it directly contains the gallium driver's name.
So assume that every unknown renderer is a gallium driver.
Test Plan: Added a testcase, it succeeds only with this patch.

Summary:
The Qualcom Adreno classes are recognized and a version detection
workaround is added for libhybris which only announces GLES version 2
although GLES version 3 is supported. KWin at least used to work with
GLES version 3 which gives us e.g. framebuffer blit.

Example data harvested from bugs.kde.org: open bugs against kwin with
a comment containing supportInformation.
We can see that especially detecting modern radeon gpus is not working.
The new test can load "profiles" from kconfig files in the test data.
Based on that the glGetString return values are mocked and GLPlatform
can perform detect without having to interact with a real GL library.
That way we can verify that the detect code works correctly. As a first
test the settings of one Intel/IvyBridge is included. More tests can be
added easily (e.g. looking at various supportInformation output in
bugs.kde.org). Also this allows to more easily add detect code for GPUs
we do not know yet. And to simulate conditions where the detect code
failed resulting in no compositing at all.
