For systems with non-accelerated GPU (PINE64 e.g.), please add a warning
to switch to non-GL rendering of waveforms. Otherwise the application is
not usable and a novice user no use Mixxx further.

One doesn't expect that for an audio application, such graphical
features are required for starting it out of the box.

Alternatively, set the default to RGB and Filtered and notify at first
startup the user to choose GL for improved waveform rendering.
