Freedreno Driver Drops Its Old Shader Compiler

Rob Clark has managed to rid the Freedreno Gallium3D graphics driver of its old shader compiler back-end.

With no Piglit tests falling back over to Freedreno's old shader compiler, Rob nuked the 1,500+ lines of code this weekend for the old IR3 compiler in favor of the newer and faster shader compiler he wrote for this open-source Qualcomm Adreno GPU driver.

This commit is what did away with the old Freedreno shader compiler and will be a change for the Mesa 10.6.0 release down the pipe.
