update xf86-video-intel to 2.99.917.20160614

This is a fairly large update on the Intel DDX. There are a lot of obsolete
patches removed (many of which had been added to allow the ancient 2.21.15 =
DDX
to work with recent Xorg server) and a few new patches added. There has yet=
 to
be a 3.0 release more than a year after expected, so the update is to a rec=
ent
2.99 snapshot, the same that is in the external repo. Compared to that repo,
this patch differs only by exclusion of the experimental DRI3 option for wh=
ich
there is no support in the kernel DRM drivers.

QA: builds clean on 10/11 amd64 and I have run this and the previous 2.99
snapshot on 10-STABLE amd64 for months.

My testing is all older hardware which works with UXA. Some newer hardware =
may
be better of with SNA. Users should also try modesetting DDX (included in
xorg-server 1.18) as an alternative if there are issues with this driver.
