Re-land "Load correct libGLESv2 on Linux and Mac." Re-land fixes build to ensure commit_id is built before libEGL. libEGL was implicitly loading libGLESv2 on startup. This is bad because on platforms like Linux and Mac we could sometimes use the incorrect rpath. This in turn meant we needed workarounds like using "_angle" extensions to our shared objects to get the correct loading behaviour. Fix this by loading libGLESv2 dynamically in libEGL. We build the loader automatically from egl.xml. The loader itself is lazily initialized on every EGL entry point call. This is necessary because on Linux, etc, there is no equivalent to Windows' DLLMain. We also use an EGL.h with different generation options so we have the proper function pointer types. A README is included for instructions on how to regenerate EGL.h. The entry point generation script is refactored into a helper class that is used in the loader generator. Also adds the libGLESv2 versions of the EGL entry points in the DEF file on Windows. This allows them to be imported properly in 32-bit configurations. Also fixes up some errors in ANGLE's entry point definitions. Also includes a clang-format disable rule for the Khronos headers. This CL will help us to run ANGLE tests against native drivers.

The goal of ANGLE is to allow users of multiple operating systems to seamlessly run WebGL and other OpenGL ES content by translating OpenGL ES API calls to one of the hardware-supported APIs available for that platform. ANGLE currently provides translation from OpenGL ES 2.0 and 3.0 to desktop OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Direct3D 9, and Direct3D 11. Support for translation from OpenGL ES to Vulkan is underway, and future plans include compute shader support (ES 3.1) and MacOS support.

ANGLE v1.0.772 was certified compliant by passing the ES 2.0.3 conformance tests in October 2011. ANGLE also provides an implementation of the EGL 1.4 specification.
ANGLE is used as the default WebGL backend for both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox on Windows platforms. Chrome uses ANGLE for all graphics rendering on Windows, including the accelerated Canvas2D implementation and the Native Client sandbox environment.
Portions of the ANGLE shader compiler are used as a shader validator and translator by WebGL implementations across multiple platforms. It is used on Mac OS X, Linux, and in mobile variants of the browsers. Having one shader validator helps to ensure that a consistent set of GLSL ES shaders are accepted across browsers and platforms. The shader translator can be used to translate shaders to other shading languages, and to optionally apply shader modifications to work around bugs or quirks in the native graphics drivers. The translator targets Desktop GLSL, Direct3D HLSL, and even ESSL for native GLES2 platforms.
