[ANNOUNCE] xf86-video-intel 2.20.3

[Chris Wilson]

Just a minor bugfix for gen4 chipsets (965gm, gm45 and friends) that
crept into 2.20.2. As an added bonus, the pessimistic workaround for a
GPU hang on gen4 has been relaxed and the shaders have been overhauled
which should pave the way to eliminating the last of the uncommon CPU
operations, along with immediately realising a small perforamnce
improvement.

Bugs fixed since 2.20.2:

 * Update DPMS bookkeeping after modeset
   https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52142

 * Avoid overlapping gpu/cpu damage after ignoring cpu damage in the
   consideration of placement for the operation.

 * Enable acceleration by default on 830gm/845g. The GMCH on this pair
   of chipsets is notoriously incoherent, so the GPU is almost certainly
   going to hang at some point, though unlikely to hang the system and
   should automatically disable acceleration (and thence behave
   identically as if the acceleration was disabled from the start).
   Option "NoAccel" can be used to disable all 2D acceleration and
   Option "DRI" can be used to disable all 3D acceleration.

 * Fix vertex bookkeeping for gen4 that was causing corruption in the
   command stream.
