When switching to the Skins tab in the launcher, a library libGLESv2.so fails to load. The launcher then displays a message saying the feature is not supported. This used to just work.

I did some debugging and there is a missing directory /opt/minecraft-launcher/swiftshader/ that should contain two symlinks: libGLESv2.so and libEGL.so.
After creating the directory and a symlink to for each of these files, the skins tab in the launcher starts working.
