This is necessary because the Raspberry Pi is a strange beast, that believes
it has OpenGL support (through glX?) but generally has GLES2 support.
So when using the raspberry video target, we need to force this to default
to a GLES2 context, or by default SDL_CreateWindow() will fail, deep down
when it tries to load the proper GL library.
Fixes testsprite2 (and basically everything else that wasn't testgles2) when
run on a Raspberry Pi without a X server.
Please note that other targets might also need this filled in, the Raspberry
Pi is just the most prominent and readily-available System-On-A-Chip style
thing on my desk. :)

The attached patch adds support for KMS/DRM context graphics.
It builds with no problem on X86_64 GNU/Linux systems, provided the needed libraries are present, and on ARM GNU/Linux systems that have KMS/DRM support and a GLES2 implementation.
Tested on Raspberry Pi: KMS/DRM is what the Raspberry Pi will use as default in the near future, once the propietary DispmanX API by Broadcom is overtaken by open graphics stack, it's possible to boot current Raspbian system in KMS mode by adding "dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d" to config.txt on Raspbian's boot partition.
X86 systems use KMS right away in every current GNU/Linux system.
Simple build instructions:
$./autogen.sh
$./configure --enable-video-kmsdrm
$make
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
