Just had a chat with a friendly graphics developer.  Currently libgbm is
tied to the drivers and GL stack implementation, so it makes perfect sense
that mesa's libgbm should probably be renamed along with the GL bits to
libgbm-mesa, and other drivers ship their own libgbm, and we have a
virtual/libgbm to pick between.

Patches welcome from someone who has relevant hardware to test it actually
works.
