Created by gzotti and last modified

This currently just adds some more startup diagnostic in the logfile if called with a command-line option --opengldetails or -d.
Can be used to identify OpenGL and GLSL capabilities and limitations of various hardware.

E.g.:

Intel Atom N450/GMA3150 (and certainly other IntelGMA) also fail to work under ANGLE if they only support GLSL1.2.

Intel HD3000 and other Intel complain about unresolved functions glProgramParameteri[EXT]. Tried to add explicitly in StelOpenGL.h, no avail. Diagnostic will say if function not available.

More tests are always useful, but some of them (e.g. extensions list) may arguably be not required for now (but maybe meaningful for future capabilities?). With the command line option it does not hurt regular users, so I think it can be merged anytime.
