Need EGL extension spec to describe dma-buf interaction with EGLImage

Registered by Jesse Barker

In order to support EGL interactions with dma-buf, we'll need to describe an extension that will allow passing of a dma-buf handle for creation of an EGLImage based upon the underlying resource, as well as getting a dma-buf handle to pass across protocol to allow, for example, decoding of video into the underlying resource of an EGLImage.
