[Intel-gfx] drm-intel split-up and new dim script

Hi all,

So it's finally done, drm-misc is split out into a separate repo:

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm-misc

The integration tree and rerere-cache was also split out, so that both
groups can update it:

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm-tip

To get there you need to update dim and re-run the setup steps:

1. Grab latest dim (if you have already, just update the maintainer-tools
checkout) and store it somewhere temporarily.  2. Delete the old auxiliary
directories:

$ cd $DIM_PREFIX $ rm drm-intel-rerere drm-intel-nightly maintainer-tools
-Rf

3. Make sure you have a recent enough git with worktree support. It's not
required, but if you have one it's automatically used, and it save a pile
of disk space.

4. Re-run

$ dim setup

Note that for those who start fresh with dim, there's manpages and
quickstart guides in dim itself, just run

$ dim help

from a checkout of the maintainer-tools branch from

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel

Or take a look at
https://01.org/linuxgraphics/gfx-docs/maintainer-tools/drm-intel.html

For drm-misc the new branch is drm-misc-next, topic/drm-misc is dead
effective immediate (and I'll ping people on irc who still push patches).
The other tree that changes is drm-intel-nightly, new drm-tip, and I plan
to keep both places roughly in sync for at least a week.

Cheers, Daniel
