Similar to bug 1543217, let's enable WebRender on Linux if the user has AMD hardware and is using recent Mesa drivers.

With my AMD RV770 (Vendor ID: 0x1002, Device ID: 0x9442, Driver Vendor: mesa/r600, Driver Version: 19.0.5.0) I still get
WEBRENDER_QUALIFIED: blocked-device-too-old by env: Device too old
Mesa Version is obviously higher than 18.0.0.0, but I don't understand the code. Why is my hardware still blocked?

We have only selectively turned on WebRender on certain AMD device IDs for the moment. So you are blocked because of your particular card, not because of the driver. The Intel and NVIDIA rollouts have been the same. We expect to add more devices over time as we gain confidence from low crash volumes and no bug reports, so I beg for patience :). You are of course welcome/encouraged to force it on via gfx.webrender.all in the meantime if your experience is good.
