evas gl-x11 engine - nvidia driver - fix performance drop

this has been going on for a while. on nvidia drivers in gles mode on
x11 there is a massive perf drop to like a few fps with enough windows
if we build for egl/gles instead of opengl. it was the re-creating of
eglimages every frame. put a vendor specific workaround for this and
avoid it. it's not needed there anyway. framerate back to 60fps
smoothness afterwards.

@fix
