How to tell if the gl-context is hardware accelerated in `0.30`

Question

Previously I could query this with window_ctx.get_pixel_format().hardware_accelerated. Is there a way to tell this using 0.30?

Use case: Robo Instructus uses this to automatically set various graphics options to low.

I'm not sure how I've missed that issue, but not I don't think there's a way.

I could add something like that sure.

For now you can assume that if you've asked for hardware accelerated config you've got it.

That makes sense though isn't quite as useful. I'd like to keep working in both cases, but dial down the settings if in software mode.

I guess i could try requesting hardware then retry without and record that, but that's much less ergonomic than being able to query afterwards.

#1556. Note, that llvmpipe is somehow reported as hardware accelerated as well. Though on other systems it may be more reliable here.

Thanks! Yes I believe this is the same as previous glutin versions, as my code was already manually checking for llvmpipe.
