In environments where 3D acceleration is not available, like in a VM,
the behavior before commit
8cd44b884387 ("egl: add automatic zink
fallback loading between hw and sw drivers") was to fallback to swrast.
This was the output of `eglinfo` in that situation:
$ eglinfo
[...]
Wayland platform:
EGL driver name: swrast
OpenGL core profile renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 17.0.4, 256 bits)
However, after commit
8cd44b884387 ("egl: add automatic zink fallback
loading between hw and sw drivers") Zink support is tested before
falling back to swrast.
Since the system doesn't support 3D acceleration, Zink + software
rendering is used instead of swrast causing issues like the ones
described in #10146.
In this case, `eglinfo` prints:
$ eglinfo
[...]
Wayland platform:
EGL driver name: zink
OpenGL core profile renderer: zink Vulkan 1.3(llvmpipe (LLVM 17.0.4,
256 bits) (MESA_LLVMPIPE))
This patch ensures that Zink + software rendering is used only when the
user opts-in by setting `LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE` or `D3D_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE`
and swrast is used otherwise.
After the patch, the output of `eglinfo` is identical to the one before
the regression:
$ eglinfo
[...]
Wayland platform:
EGL driver name: swrast
OpenGL core profile renderer: llvmpipe (LLVM 17.0.4, 256 bits)
