Public bug reported:

When Glamor generates textures it does so with format=GL_RGBA and
type=GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE using glTexImage2D. However when it writes to
these images it does it with format=GL_BGRA and type =
GL_UNSIGNED_INT_8_8_8_8_REV using glTexSubImage2D.

This works fine on a desktop (Intel) but when running on a Nexus 4 a
GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated when calling glTexSubImage2D.

There seems to be a couple of problems:
- The format is originally GL_RGBA and then changed to GL_BGRA. glTexSubImage2D 
says "GL_INVALID_OPERATION is generated if the texture array has not been 
defined by a previous glTexImage2D or glCopyTexImage2D operation  whose 
internalformat matches the format of glTexSubImage2D."
- type GL_UNSIGNED_INT_8_8_8_8_REV is an extension and doesn't seem to be 
supported on the Nexus 4.

By changing the original format to GL_RGBA (in glamor/glamor_utils.h)
and the glTexSubImage2D to use format=GL_RGBA type=GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE
(glamor/glamor_transfer.c) we can get this to work.

The question is - is the current Glamor code to aggressive in using
extensions or should it be able to better detect which method is
appropriate for each driver? Are there other issues with the X format
the pixmap data is in?
