This seems like a good idea.  I've added all three of these, with
default assignee and QA contact being mesa-dev (same as the core Mesa
component).

I deleted Glide and Trident as they had no bugs in them.  The rest have
bugs filed against them, so I didn't want to potentially lose data that
someone might care about.  Those components are all deactivated anyway,
so noone can file new bugs - they're just archiving old data.
