We use a hidden window for each offscreen context we need.
On X11 (linux) it does not show any other windows in the OS task bar
but it might be the case on other operating systems (untested).
This is no longer needed with the new offscreen draw method, so use whatever
is default and hopefully fastest. Fixes console warnings in some setups that
don't have swap copy.
The X resource database is to be explicitly destroyed. This fixes 46 bytes
leak per every window DPI query (which happens a lot on window move/resize
and even on areas resize).
Unfortunately, this does not fully fix the leak since the known leak:

createOffscreenContext left the new context bound to the calling thread
causing a race condition with the background thread doing the actual
rendering. see T55555 for a more detailed description of the problem.
this patch changes the behavior of createOffscreenContext to restore the
context to the calling context.

rBe0c088f8fb5a introduced offline rendering support on windows, sadly it was trying to use the desktop window for getting a context, which given SetPixelFormat can only be called once for any given HDC was an unfortunate choice.
This patch uses a temporary hidden window for getting the opengl context.

This reverts commit 7529690df3.
I tried to put manually add threading protection to GHOST around
Xlib calls but that did not fix the crashes. So reverting that
for now despite the performance implication on some system.
This way they can be init in their owner thread. Contexts should not be
shared accross threads. Once you make a context active on a thread it is
owned by the thread.
This commit only have the GLX backend updated but should not break orther
platform.
All keyboard events were sending double key events (including modifiers)
when xinput was enabled with gnome (causing much confusion!).
I cant test if XIM works,
but this isn't useful to send double events, so disabling for now.
When creating an offscreen context we need wglCreatePbufferARB to create
a drawable. In non-background mode wglCreatePbufferARB would have been set
by the main window creation code. But in background mode this is not the
case so we need to create a dummy context using the screen window to init
wglew properly.
