This allows the stream to drive the buffers submitted to the display server.
If the application does not receive frame events for a period of time due to
minimization or tty switch for example, instead of waiting to process and
then catching up when frame events resume, the stream will resume instantly.

There is no requirement for a base DRM format to be supported by libgstvideo
in order to be uploaded to. Don't limite to DRM fourcc that have a libgstvideo
format mapping. This notably enabled AFBC support, which uses an opaque based
format that does not have a linear definition. This also adds R8/RG88 and
simimlar other formats that are not yet mapped in libgstvideo.

From a multimedia perspective GLES >= 2 has the big advantage of
supporting external textures (`OES_EGL_image_external` /
`OES_EGL_image_external_essl3`), allowing various YUV formats to be
imported directly by drivers.
It appears unlikely by now that the extension will ever be ported to
GL with Vulkan becoming more popular, leaving GL without an "official"
way to import YUV formats.
Further more, for Gst internal purposes it's likely that GLES2 works
equally well if not better on most drivers these days, especially on
embedded devices.
Thus switch the default for EGL context creation to GLES2. This won't
affect apps that create their own context, but `gst-launch-1.0` etc.,
which are often used for testing so people don't have to pass
`GST_GL_API=gles2`.

By calling the internal function gst_gl_context_egl_fetch_dma_formats() the an
array of structures holding a DMA fourcc format and its modifiers (another array of
structure holing modifier and if it's external only) will be stored.
Users would call gst_gl_context_egl_get_format_modifiers() to get the array of
modifiers of a specific DMA fourcc format.
