[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] i965: Implement a CS stall workaround

According to the latest documentation, any PIPE_CONTROL with the
"Command Streamer Stall" bit set must also have another bit set,
with five different options:

   - Render Target Cache Flush
   - Depth Cache Flush
   - Stall at Pixel Scoreboard
   - Post-Sync Operation
   - Depth Stall

I chose "Stall at Pixel Scoreboard" since we've used it effectively
in the past, but the choice is fairly arbitrary.

Implementing this in the PIPE_CONTROL emit helpers ensures that the
workaround will always take effect when it ought to.
