drirc: Add "Second Life" quirk (allow_glsl_extension_directive_midshader).

Appears to fix shader compilation. Tested by starting the client,
dragging the "quality and speed" slider back and forth, and watching the
console output - instead of piles of "shader failed to compile", the CPU
seems to be busy compiling shaders. I haven't actually tried to play.
