Add flag to disable hardware acceleration (#1681)

This is a fix for the behaviour on macOS platforms where any egui app would use the dedicated GPU and consume more power than needed. Not all apps might have dedicated GPU requirements.

 ## Unreleased
 ### Added ⭐
+* Added `NativeOptions::hardware_acceleration` to allow opting out of hardware acceleration for less power consumption ([#1681](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/1681)).
 * Added `*_released` & `*_clicked` methods for `PointerState` ([#1582](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/1582)).
 * Added `egui::hex_color!` to create `Color32`'s from hex strings under the `color-hex` feature ([#1596](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/1596)).
 * Optimized painting of filled circles (e.g. for scatter plots) by 10x or more ([#1616](https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/1616)).
