[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/2] Remove support for 'auto'(-1) value of XV_SYNC_TO_VBLANK

We previously had a heurstic here where we would only sync to vblank
for windows that covered more than 25% of the screen. We don't need
this anymore since the new approach to sync, (WAIT_FOR_SCANLINE_WINDOW),
is not excessively costly for small windows.

 XV_SYNC_TO_VBLANK is used to control whether textured adapter synchronizes

-values 'auto'(-1), 'off'(0) and 'on(1). 'off' means never sync, 'on' means 
-always sync, no matter what size, and 'auto' means sync if the Xv image is 
-more than quarter of the pixels on the screen. The default is 'auto'(-1).
