Saving the old context and immediately making our own context
current is a common pattern. Let's make it easier to do.
No functional change, just refactoring.
See the spec at [1]. tl;dr EGL has terrible defaults: eglTerminate()
may have side-effects on completely unrelated EGLDisplay objects.
This extension allows us to opt-in to get the sane behavior:
eglTerminate() only free's our own EGLDisplay without affecting
others.

These are trivial wrappers around eglMakeCurrent and
eglGetCurrentContext. Compositors which need to call these
functions will also call other EGL or GL functions anyways. Let's
reduce our API surface a bit by making them private.
We never create an EGL context with the platform set to something
other than EGL_PLATFORM_GBM_KHR. Let's simplify wlr_egl_create by
taking a DRM FD instead of a (platform, remote_display) tuple.
This hides the internal details of creating an EGL context for a
specific device. This will allow us to transparently use the device
platform [1] when the time comes.

The wlr_egl functions are mostly used internally by the GLES2
renderer. Let's reduce our API surface a bit by hiding them. If
there are good use-cases for one of these, we can always make them
public again.
The functions mutating the current EGL context are not made private
because e.g. Wayfire uses them.
