FWIW, the new EGL backend for Mir shouldn't suffer from this issue as it
respects the config selected by the app. Here's the PPA if someone wants
to try [1].

[1] Note that the new EGL will NOT work with the old (existing) EGL apps
yet. You need to port your app (in a trivial way) to use it. Once
ported, the old and new EGLs will coexist (i.e. you don't need to port
all Mir apps to use the new EGL). Let me know (camako@IRC).

Unity8/mir working on VMware due to bypass not working

Bug description:
Related to this bug (bug #1480755) - this is the issue preventing
unity8/mir working in VMware.
Bringing it out into its own issue to improve visibility.
Choice quotes from previous bug:
The problem is (annoyingly) that Mesa 10.5.9 on wily (Intel Haswell)
returns 7 compatible EGLConfigs for EGL_ALPHA_SIZE=0 but all of them
have EGL_ALPHA_SIZE == 8 set.
Added a Mesa task. RAOF has suggested we should just fix Mesa. When
asking for RGBA of 8880 it should provide at least one EGLConfig that
is 8880 instead of always .
This should be possible. It's not entirely clear why we're not getting
XRGB visuals currently, but it's fixable.
