[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v1 2/4] drm/i915: Add provision to extend Golden context batch

The Golden batch carries 3D state at the beginning so that HW starts with
a known state. It is carried as a binary blob which is auto-generated from
source. The idea was it would be easier to maintain and keep the complexity
out of the kernel which makes sense as we don't really touch it. However if
you really need to update it then you need to update generator source and
keep the binary blob in sync with it.

There is a need to patch this in bxt to send one additional command to enable
a feature. A solution was to patch the binary data with some additional
data structures (included as part of auto-generator source) but it was
unnecessarily complicated.

Chris suggested the idea of having a secondary batch and execute two batch
buffers. It has clear advantages as we needn't touch the base golden batch,
can customize secondary/auxiliary batch depending on Gen and can be carried
in the driver with no dependencies.

This patch adds support for this auxiliary batch which is inserted at the
end of golden batch and is completely independent from it. Thanks to Mika
for the preliminary review.
