Overview
This extension adds an precision hint for scaling and biasing
arithmetic. For large scale factors, hinting GL_NICEST produces the
most accurate results. The hint only applies to Octane2 VPro
graphics systems, to work around a hardware issue.

Accepted by the <target> parameter of glHint and by the <pname>

Add to section 5.6 ("Hints"):
If the <target> argument of Hint is specified as SCALEBIAS_HINT,
then the <hint> argument indicates the desired precision of
geometric transformations around the near clip plane (XXX - is this
really what's going on?). The NICEST hint trades off performance for
increased clip accuracy.
