What about using the generic dFdx()/dFdy() builtins (maybe with a
WARN) for the coarse and fine variants when ARB_derivative_control
isn't supported?
I don't know that it's particularly relevant in practice, it just
seems something we don't need to strictly depend on.

I have no idea if this is issue in practice but wined3d currently
requires ARB_derivative_control for SM5. I guess we can add a fallback
to dFdx()/dFdy() if we find an OpenGL implementation which is
otherwise capable to support SM5 but doesn't expose
ARB_derivative_control.
