Calling eglGetDisplay forces libEGL to guess what kind of pointer you
passed it. Different EGL libraries will do different things here, and in
particular glvnd will do something different than Mesa. Since we do have
an API that allows us to explicitly type the display, use it.
The explicit call to eglGetProcAddress is working around a bug in
libepoxy 1.3, which does not understand the EGL concept of client
extensions. Since it does not, the normal epoxy resolver for
eglGetPlatformDisplayEXT would not find any provider for that entry
point, and crash when you attempted to call it.
