Support for EGLDevice (headless/no X server, off-screen rendering) #1592

Hey all!

I am currently working on a down-stream project in reinforcement learning and we're trying to modify an LWJGL 3 application linking against GLFW to run headless (no X server, using EGLDevice). After looking around quite a bit it looks like others have attempted to develop such an extension for GLFW, but development appears to be largely abandoned (#786, #648).

Our team does not have the background and is not well suited to implement this feature for GLFW, but we are deeply interested in seeing it finished. I am wondering if there was any plan for this feature going forward, and if not, if anyone would be willing to finish it for a bounty (i.e. payment for its completion!).

If this is a possibility, please let me know!
