Camilla Löwy 4b5ca4e23f Add glfwGetEGLConfig native access function
This adds the glfwGetEGLConfig function for querying the EGLConfig of
the EGLSurface of a window.

This is a re-implementation of the PR #2045 by knokko, slightly
redesigned to handle EGLConfig being an opaque type in core EGL.

Release notes for version 3.5

[TOC]

New features

Unlimited mouse buttons

GLFW now has an input mode which allows an unlimited number of mouse buttons to be reported by the mouse buttton callback, rather than just the associated [mouse button tokens](@ref buttons). This allows using mouse buttons with values over 8. For compatibility with older versions, the @ref GLFW_UNLIMITED_MOUSE_BUTTONS input mode needs to be set to make use of this.

EGL config native access function

GLFW now provides the @ref glfwGetEGLConfig native access function for querying the EGLConfig of a window that has a EGLSurface.

Deprecations

Removals

Windows XP and Vista support has been removed

Support for Windows XP and Vista has been removed. Windows XP has been out of extended support since 2014.

Original MinGW support has been removed

Support for the now unmaintained original MinGW distribution has been removed.

This does not apply to the much more capable MinGW-w64, which remains fully supported. MinGW-w64 can build both 32- and 64-bit binaries, is actively maintained and available on many platforms.
