Description of Change(s)
This may be used by the host application to set the preferred backend on startup, and then plugins can follow it.
It also works around an issue where Storm calls
Hgi::IsSupported
without specifying a backend, which fails when the host application uses Vulkan and has no OpenGL context.Fixes Issue(s)
