webgl: Unlock WebRender by default by adding a readback based fallback to WebGL context creation.
<!-- Please describe your changes on the following line: -->

<!-- Thank you for contributing to Servo! Please replace each `[ ]` by `[X]` when the step is complete, and replace `__` with appropriate data: -->
- [x] `./mach build -d` does not report any errors
- [x] `./mach test-tidy` does not report any errors
<!-- Either: -->
- [x] These changes do not require tests because refactoring.
<!-- Pull requests that do not address these steps are welcome, but they will require additional verification as part of the review process. -->
This should give us the chance to use WebRender by default in OSX.

* Sections like `[dependencies.foo]` can be entries in a `[dependencies]`
section with the `{key = value}` syntax.
* Per-target dependencies can be expressed with more general `cfg(…)`
conditions instead of exact target triples:
https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2328
This allows keeping the VertexAttrib* calls asynchronous.
Another option would be to do the validation in the apply() function,
but that'd require us passing an unnecessary channel around and add
extra synchronization.
The counterpart of this is that it has to be updated when the context
changes, but that's less problem.
Do not use lookup tables for put_image_data
Fixes#9599
"This is the first Rust code I have ever written" (and also my first time writing real browser code, it's been quite the learning experience).
Some questions:
> For really fast CPU results, use integer SIMD instructions to handle more than one pixel at a time.
This was out of the scope of #9599, right? I started looking into doing that, but it seems to be a lot more work than the `E-easy` label would suggest. [`std::simd`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.0.0/std/simd/index.html) is marked as "unstable", is that a blocker?
> 128 can be added before dividing to round more accurately.
@michaelwu, what did you mean by that?
Also, the #9599 is `Do not use lookup tables for {Get,Put}ImageData operations`, but we only use lookup tables for the `Put`, not the `Get`, right?
Sorry for all the noobish questions.

WebRender is an experimental GPU accelerated rendering backend for Servo.
The WebRender backend can be specified by running Servo with the -w option (otherwise the default rendering backend will be used).
WebRender has many bugs, and missing features - but it is usable to browse most websites - please report any WebRender specific rendering bugs you encounter!
Hopefully the build machines and everyone using Servo has GL 3.3 available on their machines - if it causes any problems, we can revert this change and investigate further.
I was going to implement Uniform4fv with sequences, (since it
practically implemented), but we can't until we support Float32Array
args because codegen doesn't know how tu differenciate between both.
