[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t v2] Add support for forcing a specific driver

[Petri Latvala]

This commit adds a new option for forcing the use of a specific driver
indicated via an environment variable.

v2 (Petri):
 - Use an environment variable instead of command line
 - Refactor the loop in __open_device
 - Don't try to load kernel modules

Did the changes I suggested myself to see what else is lurking
there. I'm still unsure whether using IGT_FORCE_DRIVER=something
should still accept opening e.g. an i915 device with DRIVER_INTEL,
currently this does. Both ways have their merits.

I was able to test vkms with this patch, revealing some amount of
intelisms still lurking.
