GLX Information usage cleanup

  - GLXUtil: Distinguish between client and server GLX information, cache client information.
  - GLXDrawableFactory: Utilize GLXUtil client data, as well as cache (SharedResource) GLX server data,
    avoiding 'uncontrolled' GLX queries, ie. w/o locking.
  - isMultisampleAvailable = isClientMultisampleAvailable && isServerMultisampleAvailable
