Subject: [PATCH] video: Unload GL/Vulkan when shutting down the video
subsystem
If GL/Vulkan was loaded manually via a SDL_X_LoadLibrary() call instead of via window flags or through the GPU or renderer system, and there is no matching SDL_X_UnloadLibrary() call, the library instance won't be automatically unloaded while shutting down the video system, as the refcount won't go to zero, which can cause problems with some backends, and leaves a leaked DLL/SO handle when the global video object is destroyed.
Ensure that the libraries are unloaded after destroying the windows, but before shutting down the video backend, to prevent a leak and possible driver errors when shutting down the video backend.
(cherry picked from commit 37fca1fdcf75dd62b60b364ab747b17e661d85fc)
