Added MSAA support for OpenGL ES contexts on iOS.

Note that extra steps must be taken when using glReadPixels to read the contents of the main OpenGL ES framebuffer on iOS, if multisampling is used. See the OpenGL ES section of README-ios.md for details.

+OpenGL ES on iOS doesn't use the traditional system-framebuffer setup provided in other operating systems. Special care must be taken because of this:

+- The drawable Renderbuffer must be bound to the GL_RENDERBUFFER binding point when SDL_GL_SwapWindow is called.
+- The drawable Framebuffer Object must be bound while rendering to the screen and when SDL_GL_SwapWindow is called.
+- If multisample antialiasing (MSAA) is used and glReadPixels is used on the screen, the drawable framebuffer must be resolved to the MSAA resolve framebuffer (via glBlitFramebuffer or glResolveMultisampleFramebufferAPPLE), and the MSAA resolve framebuffer must be bound to the GL_READ_FRAMEBUFFER binding point, before glReadPixels is called.
+
+The above objects can be obtained via SDL_GetWindowWMInfo (in SDL_syswm.h).
