Check for Mesa3D opengl32.dll in installer

Description

Users of 2.1.6 and 2.1.7 have been suggested to install an alternate opengl32.dll in their Aegisub install directory, to force Aegisub to use software rendering instead of a poor, possibly emulated, hardware driver.

As the video display should be much more compatible in 2.1.8 those users will probably no longer need the Mesa3D opengl32.dll library and it will only cause worse performance for them.

The installer should check for this file and ask the user if he wants to remove it, arguing the case.

Removing the file should probably be done by renaming. Possibly, some checks on file size, version info or similar should also be done.

The Mesa opengl32.dll is still useful for me though (unfortunate SiS user); it is both faster and looks better than the driver's version, which looks VERY pixelated.
