[965] Replace the state cache suballocator with direct dri_bufmgr use.
The user-space suballocator that was used avoided relocation computations by using the general and surface state base registers and allocating those types of buffers out of pools built on top of single buffer objects. It also avoided calls into the buffer manager for these small state allocations, since only one buffer object was being used. However, the buffer allocation cost appears to be low, and with relocation caching, computing relocations for buffers is essentially free. Additionally, implementing the suballocator required a don't-fence-subdata flag to disable waiting on buffer maps so that writing new data didn't block on rendering using old data, and careful handling when mapping to update old data (which we need to do for unavoidable relocations with FBOs). More importantly, when the suballocator filled, it had no replacement algorithm and just threw out all of the contents and forced them to be recomputed, which is a significant cost. This is the first step, which just changes the buffer type, but doesn't yet improve the hash table to not result in full recompute on overflow. Because the buffers are all allocated out of the general buffer allocator, we can no longer use the general/surface state bases to avoid relocations, and they are set to 0 instead.
