[Libva] [PATCH RFC intel-driver 01/11] test: add googletest release-1.8.0 source

[Eoff, Ullysses A]

Hi Victor,

Yes, we considered using git submodule at first.  However, after discussion with
Sree and others we decided it would be better to just track a copy instead.

Git submodule has a few shortcomings that make it less than ideal when integrating
with CI and automation systems.
