get error log of shader if it fails to compile

[Inconn]

logs shader compile error if a shader fails to compile for some reason. i dunno if you guys want this or not but i made it while fixing the nvidia bug and thought i might as well make a PR. tell me if there's anything you want to change.

This would be a good addition when debugging! What do you think @WillPower3309? :)

I seem to get duplicated error messages, one from wlroots and the one that you're outputting

[Inconn]

How are you erroring? maybe wlroots added error messages? (or had them and I didn't know so I made this).

Just some simple syntax errors like removing semicolon and bracket

[Inconn]

Maybe you're not getting duplicates? Do you only do one error at a time or multiple? Because if you have multiple errors it tells you every error instead of just the first one. Otherwise I'm not sure of what you're seeing

I'm sometimes getting more info from the built-in error output. Example:
