opengl/egldisplay: work around libepoxy failing when GPU resets happen

libepoxy calls glGetString(GL_VERSION) when resolving OpenGL functions, which
returns nullptr after a GPU reset.
When that happens, it assumes the OpenGL version is zero, and aborts because
nothing is supported with OpenGL version zero.

To avoid these random crashes, just set our own handler for when resolving
functions fails. It prints about the failure, so we still find out if anything
actually misbehaves, but doesn't abort on GPU resets.
