`swrast` is reported as fallback software driver. This happens with
unknown sw-drivers (e.g. zink on lavapipe), but also when `glxtest`
incorrectly detects software rendering. This can be confusing and
is basically always wrong - by now it even got removed from Mesa
and for years only has been used on niche setups.
Make this more clear by using "mesa/software-unknown" instead.
No functional change beyond reporting intended here.

Since Software WebRender is the replacement for Basic compositor, we
should not allow generic blocklist rules which block all features to
block Software WebRender. This feature must work under all
configurations, including safe mode, so it doesn't make sense to allow
blocking it.
This does not however prevent rules specifically targeting SW-WR from
blocking/allowing it.

This patch enables Software WebRender for all Linux users. If their
configuration is also allowlisted for (accelerated) WebRender, then they
will default to that over Software WebRender.

By default, anything we do for one Sandy Bridge gpu
we should do for all of them. See bug 1678388 for an
example of how we screwed this up.

Add Intel Gen 6 GT1 (Sandybridge) and allow it to ride to early beta.

This patch adds detection for XWayland, as that is sometimes an
important distinction when debugging WebRender bugs. For all intents and
purposes, it should work the same as X11, but sometimes does not.
This patch also fixes the desktop environment detection for a few corner
cases. Budgie, in particular, claims to be a GNOME variant, which is not
correct for our purposes, and DWM wasn't detected at all.

This is similar to a change that landed directly into 74. We don't want to
roll-out to these users yet and we don't want to have to think about it every
release.

AMD does not release any graphics cards under the vendor ID 0x1022. That
appears to be reserved for their non-graphics hardware. Instead they
have chosen to continue releasing graphics hardware under the ATI vendor
ID 0x1002. This patch removes all of the AMD ID rules and replaces them,
if applicable, with ATI ID rules. This has meant that sometimes we
failed to block things in the past that we expected to.

We would like to get to a world where we compare/store enums instead of

Currently the blocklist can block groups of devices, called a
DeviceFamily. However this only allows us to check specific IDs and not
ranges of device IDs like we do currently for the WebRender allowlist.
This patch allows a device family to now specify start and end values
for device IDs we want to match in the blocklist rule.

As part of the WebRender rollout, we have been only allowing users
meeting particular platform, battery and screen size requirements (among
others) to get WebRender by default. This patch adds support for battery
and screen size filters in the blocklist rules to allow us to control
that more easily. It also adds kludgey support for checking for recent
Windows 10 build numbers for allowlist purposes; implementing this the
proper way would require an implementation like driver version checks,
which are much more complicated than most of the rules.

the gfx blocklist, allowing us more control over feature deployment.
This will help with the slow rollout of WebRender to release channels.

Investigation showed that on this platform the texture unit state becomes
corrupted whenever we set the non-identity swizzling (getting garbage from textureSize()).
Given no easy workaround, we disable swizzling for this GPU family on Mac, for now.

This reunifies the behaviour changed in bug 1294232 to ensure that the
vendor ID of GfxInfo is the same between graphics hardware. Vendor ID
should always represent Intel, Nvidia, ATI, etc such that callers can
reason about the performance characteristics without being exposed to
the driver implementation for that platform. Now we split off the more
detailed driver information into the "driver vendor" which will contain
more information, such as what implementation is being used (e.g.
mesa/i965 for modern Intel graphics cards). This field is exposed to the
blocklist and will be useful for allowing different rules for different
driver implementations.
We also now provide a default implementation for
GfxInfoBase::FindMonitors for platforms missing support. This will just
list the primary screen size used without listing secondary monitors,
refresh rate, and such.
