Add support to select which GPU to use

Proposal: I am proposing an option in the launcher or in-game setting to choose which GPU to use

Context: Minecraft Java sometimes chooses my integrated GPU, and sometimes it chooses my dedicated GPU. I also have an egpu setup, and minecraft never chooses that even though I enabled the settings on Windows Graphics Options. On the other hand, bedrock minecraft always uses the dedicated GPU. So it would be nice for the Java minecraft to have an option to choose it yourself.

    sorry, that's just not how OpenGL works. they could only do this if they switched to Vulkan. Bedrock only does that because modern graphics APIs (Vulkan, Metal, DirectX 12) all have the ability to select GPUs
