Issue #1360 - Part 1: Simplify layers acceleration prefs.
This gets rid of platform-dependent hard-coded defaults, but keeps
build-time blocking if there is no GL provider (in which case layers
acceleration almost certainly won't work because it needs a GL
compositor and would likely crash without)
New prefs are
- layers.acceleration.enabled to enable HWA
- layers.acceleration.force to force it enabled (requires .enabled to be
set as well)
This is the platform part of this issue. The rest will be front-end work
(Preference UI integration and pref migration)
