headless: Switch from osmesa to SwiftShader

Now that SwiftShader is shipped with Chrome we can start using it to
render GL content in headless mode. This requires a couple of changes:

1. Skip GPU data collection in headless mode since SwiftShader isn't
   considered a software implementation by that code, leading to a
   failure when we try to retrieve information from the window system.

2. Only skip GL initialization in InitializeStaticEGLInternal if we're
   using osmesa. SwiftShader requires initialization like the other
   non-software implementations.

We also fix a bug where any --use-gl flag specified by the user was
overwritten internally.

Note that SwiftShader is currently not supported on macOS, so we will
continue to use the physical GPU in headless mode on that platform
(unlike on other platforms where everything is software rendered).

To disable WebGL support in headless mode from now on, use --disable-gpu
--disable-software-rasterizer.
