1665648 - Ensure initialize GPU process config before WebRender config

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics: WebRender, defect)

Description

[Andrew Osmond [:aosmond] (he/him)]

We need to initialize the GPU config before we initialize WebRender. This will ensure we do not attempt to give WR to Windows users who don't support remote windowing, and thus give the correct reason for why WR is disabled.

Attachment: Bug 1665648 - Initialize GPU process config before WebRender.

We need to initialize the GPU process config before WebRender because we
have a dependency on the GPU process to enable WebRender. Without this
patch, it gives very confusing initialization failures, which it should
be clear that it was disabled because there is no GPU process. The GPU
process feature itself will then have a clear reason why it was
disabled, typically because Windows did not support remote windowing
(e.g. too old).
