package/mesa3d: allow to enable OpenGL texture float support
While testing on a PC target with an HD6310 graphic card, the
OpenGL support was in "compat profile" mode (i.e OpenGL 2.1).
Extended renderer info (GLX_MESA_query_renderer):
Vendor: X.Org (0x1002)
Device: AMD PALM (DRM 2.49.0 / 4.10.4) (0x9802)
Version: 17.0.2
Accelerated: yes
Video memory: 256MB
Unified memory: no
Preferred profile: compat (0x2)
Max core profile version: 0.0
Max compat profile version: 2.1
Max GLES1 profile version: 1.1
Max GLES[23] profile version: 2.0
OpenGL vendor string: X.Org
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD PALM (DRM 2.49.0 / 4.10.4)
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 17.0.2
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 2.0 Mesa 17.0.2
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 1.0.16
It turn out that texture float support was missing...

Add a new option to let the user disable this feature if
it doesn't comply to the SGI license.

- rewrap Config.in help text
- add note that not all drivers are affected by the texture float
option.]
