Add a 'Verify the OpenGL renderer' section to the Mali GPU driver switching guide (bilingual zh/en), showing how to confirm the active renderer via glxinfo/es2_info, and explaining that llvmpipe means software rendering (driver not active) while es2_info shows the Mali GPU name when the Mali driver is in use. Addresses radxa-docs#520

Summary
Adds a Verify the OpenGL renderer section to the Mali GPU driver switching guide (
_mali-gpu.mdx, bilingual zh/en).The guide already covers verifying the kernel driver, the xorg-xserver version, and the user-level driver — but users had no way to quickly confirm the actual OpenGL/OpenGL ES renderer in use. This change adds:
glxinfoandes2_infoMali-G610/Mali-G52) when the Mali driver is activeglxinfomay still showllvmpipewith the Mali driver (it does not support desktop OpenGL), soes2_infois the reliable checkllvmpipeas a signal that the GPU driver is not active (software rendering)Motivation
From GitHub issue #520 (rock5/rock5b/radxa-os/mali-gpu): users wanted the docs to show the expected
glxinfo/es2_infooutput so they can distinguishllvmpipe(software rendering) from the correct driver name.Fixes #520
