A subsequent change will allow loading backends from DSOs specified by the GBM_BACKEND environment variable. The exact DSO name and path are derived by the common loader code and will be of the form: <gbm_backend_path>/<GBM_BACKEND>_gbm.so E.g., a user would set the environment variable to "external" to load "external_gbm.so". Users will also still be able to explicitly request any builtin backends by name as well, so this change helps keep the environment variable syntax consistent between internal and external backends.
