Added MesaLib to third_party.
This changelist contains MesaLib 7.7 from ftp://ftp.freedesktop.org/pub/mesa/7.7/MesaLib-7.7.zip . It is 37MB (4920 files) in total. I only uploaded a fraction to show the layout. The only change I made was to add the file README.chromium.
For a description of Mesa, see http://www.mesa3d.org/.
I'm going to use Mesa to run Pepper 3D and possibly WebGL and GPU accelerated compositing tests on the bots using its offscreen 3D software renderer.
TEST=none, MesaLib is not currently a dependency of any other targets
BUG=none

A stabilization of the 5.1 development release + 2. Implementation of the OpenGL 1.5 specification.

For example, if the driver enables all the ARB +extensions which are part of OpenGL 1.3 then glGetString(GL_VERSION) +will return "1.3".
