    u_vbuf: implement another upload codepath which unrolls indices

    Improves performance from cca 1 fps to 23 fps in Cogs.
    This new codepath is not always used, instead, there is a heuristic which
    determines whether to use it. Using translate for uploads is generally
    slower than what we have had already, it's a win only in a few cases.

I get quite a noticeable perf regression running demo1 in nexuiz.

Other games (openarena,ut2004 demo, etqw) seem unaffected 


91.2740132 fps, one-second fps min/avg/max: 50 99 231 (90 seconds)

to

55.6802612 fps, one-second fps min/avg/max: 19 69 231 (90 seconds)

Sometimes I saw a couple of short (1/4 sec) stalls as well, which gave worse
results, above was without stalls.
