Bug Description

To help fix issues for users who are seeing OpenGL related crashes on startup, we should track when we crash and automatically disable OpenGL waveforms on next boot. This would involve writing a pid file or something similar. Writing to the mixxx.cfg isn't good because it prevents multiple instances from running with the same config file.

Maybe a dupe of Bug #1017858.
