Fix: don't link to OpenGL with SDL2 as backend; SDL2 dynamically loads it (#8745)
Although for developers this doesn't change anything, for our
linux-generic binary it changes everything. Without this, the
OpenGL dynamic library is dragged in as dependency, and as it
depends on X11, that will be dragged in too. This is not
something we prefer to have, as that won't run on as many
machines as it could.
SDL2 doesn't depend on OpenGL directly, as it tries to load it
in on runtime. If found, it would work in exactly the same way
as if we would link to OpenGL ourselves. As such, this is
the best of both worlds: our linux-generics have less linked
dependencies, and developers won't notice any difference.
As a side-effect, if someone uses linux-generic on a machine
that does not have any OpenGL package installed, it will
gracefully fall back to the default backend of SDL instead.
