Dear Maintainer,

I would like to ask this patch to be backported from mesa's current main (see
[1]). The patch overrides asahi's GL renderer string for known browsers. This
is needed because an increasing number of websites are deploying a web
security framework that blocks login attempts from users whose WebGL renderer
string contains "Apple", but whose User-Agent indicates a non-macOS OS (see [2]).
As a result, users of Linux on Apple Silicon (including Debian users) cannot
login to an increasing number of websites. While this is not a perfect solution,
we don't really have a viable alternative at this time.

Thank you!
