RadeonSI Polaris: Mesa 12.0 vs. 13.0 vs. 17.0 vs. 17.1 Git

ET: Legacy is another game at least performing well on Mesa 17.1-dev.

Tesseract appears to have regressed between Mesa 13.0 and 17.0.

Unigine Superposition wouldn't run on builds prior to Mesa 17 but does indicate a potential regression on 17.1.

At least there is still several weeks of bug-fixing to take place for Mesa 17.1 before it will be officially released, so hopefully these performance regressions will be addressed during that period. More GPU/driver benchmarks coming.
