Remove extensions support from glproxy
Glproxy contains support for virtualizing access to GL extensions, but this is better done in a specialized library like GLEW. We should remove the current support and replace it with a simple API to let applications discover and access present extensions, in case they prefer not to use GLEW.

Whiteboard
Headline:
The current support for GL extensions in glproxy is redundant and creates problems managing EGL contexts. This should be left to specialized libraries like GLEW.
Acceptance:
glproxy no longer initializes all possible extensions, but provides a very simple API for applications to do so if required, while being compatible with GLEW.
