keep OpenGL ES 2.0 and OpenGL 2.1 for as long as possible.
Especially on windows keeping ES 2.0 + what ANGLE exposes could really help
us have a good fallback.
On android and IOS GL ES 2.0 / 3.0 could allow us to run blender there. And
even compile blender for Google's NaCl stuf..

We should not do this regardless of the cost but we should not discard this
without seriously considering if this is feasible.
