    Provide DRI2DriverVDPAU for future compatibility

    Since 2010, DRI2 supports multiple driver names. That was added to ease
    selection of appropriate driver by libvdpau. As for today, intel driver
    support only DRI2DriverDRI (== 0), but not DRI2DriverVDPAU (== 1).

    Although there is no any hardware-specific VDPAU driver for intel video
    adapters at the moment, it would be easier to use generic drivers like
    libvdpau-va-gl by creating symlink named libvdpau_i965.so.1. That way
    appropriate driver will be selected in run time automatically:
    libvdpau_i965.so.1 on i965 equipped machines, and libvdpau_nvidia.so.1
    on nvidia equipped ones.

    [ickle: Whilst I think this is a workaround for a brainfart in libvdpau
    that it defaults to libvdpau_nvidia.so rather than first to
    libdvpau_${DRI2DriverDRI} and then to a hardcoded libvdpau_backend.so,
    I have no better solution, and this does seem in accordance with the
    spec.]
