Frontend Crash with nvidia 334.21 libraries

Description

Various reports of mythfrontend crashing with the nvidia 334.21 libraries.

​https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501670

​https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=178366

​https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/691399/-334-16-crash-in-libglesv2-with-glgenbuffers-/

I currently suspect that the issue occurs because 334.21 drivers now include the libGLESv2 library and mythtv tries to dynamically load this, even if it was compiled with opengles disabled. See

​https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/blob/master/mythtv/libs/libmythui/mythrender_opengl.cpp#L805

Patch coming shortly.

Fixes #12098 Only dynamically load the libGLESv2 library if OpenGL ES is enabled.

The nvidia driver version 334.21 has included the libGLESv2 library.
Users upgrading to the newer drivers were seeing mythfrontend segfault
because it was dynamically loading this library and then using it
incorrectly (because mythtv had been build with opengles disabled)

Distro maintainers can you pull this in immediately please.

Slight modification to accomodate the 0.26 codebase.

This bug appears to be happening again with Nvidia's v355.11 drivers.

Also this time, for whatever reason, linking to their libGL forces a linking to libGLES. This wasn't the case with the earlier version of nvidia's GLES implementation. While I'm currently trying to build QT + mythtv with EGL support to see if the problem goes away, I was perfectly happy using GLX.

Please open a new ticket, as this is potentially a different issue and relates to a different version of the nvidia drivers.

Thanks
