OpenGL: Update comment on AreQuaternionsOpposite with new information

Browse source 
While debugging the software renderer implementation, it was noticed
that this is actually exactly what the hardware does, upgrading the
status of this "hack" to being a proper implementation. And there was
much rejoicing.

* This is a helper function to resolve an issue with opposite quaternions being interpolated by
* OpenGL. See below for a detailed description of this issue (yuriks):
* This is a helper function to resolve an issue when interpolating opposite quaternions. See below
* for a detailed description of this issue (yuriks):
*
* For any rotation, there are two quaternions Q, and -Q, that represent the same rotation. If you
* interpolate two quaternions that are opposite, instead of going from one rotation to another
* using the shortest path, you'll go around the longest path. You can test if two quaternions are
* opposite by checking if Dot(Q1, W2) < 0. In that case, you can flip either of them, therefore
* making Dot(-Q1, W2) positive.
* opposite by checking if Dot(Q1, Q2) < 0. In that case, you can flip either of them, therefore
* making Dot(Q1, -Q2) positive.
*
* NOTE: This solution corrects this issue per-vertex before passing the quaternions to OpenGL. This
* should be correct for nearly all cases, however a more correct implementation (but less trivial
* and perhaps unnecessary) would be to handle this per-fragment, by interpolating the quaternions
* manually using two Lerps, and doing this correction before each Lerp.
* This solution corrects this issue per-vertex before passing the quaternions to OpenGL. This is
* correct for most cases but can still rotate around the long way sometimes. An implementation
* which did `lerp(lerp(Q1, Q2), Q3)` (with proper weighting), applying the dot product check
* between each step would work for those cases at the cost of being more complex to implement.
*
* Fortunately however, the 3DS hardware happens to also use this exact same logic to work around
* these issues, making this basic implementation actually more accurate to the hardware.
