i965: Fix up clip min_nr_entries, preferred_nr_entries, and max_threads.

The clip thread could potentially deadlock when processing tristrips since
being moved back to dual-thread mode, as the two threads could each have 4 VUEs
referenced and not be able to allocate another one since SF processing
wasn't able to continue (needing 5 entries before it freed 2).
In constrained URB mode, similar deadlock could even have occurred with
polygons (so we cut back max_threads if we can't handle it any primitive type).
