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 recent
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 which
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.
