Assorted DRI driver bug fixes.

Internal code changes

Massive changes to the Shading Language compiler. -
The _MaintainTnlProgram, _MaintainTexEnvProgram, _TexEnvProgram and -_TnlProgram fields have been moved. -
The ctx->Vertex/FragmentProgram._Current fields point to the program -in effect, whether it comes from a shader, user-program or generated -fixed-function program. +
Old array_cache module replaced by new vbo module. All geometry +rendering is now cast in the form of vertex buffer objects. +
Massive changes to the Shading Language compiler and related state. +
Vertex/fragment shaders are compiled into GPU instructions and +programs very similar to GL_ARB_vertex/fragment_program. +
Vertex and fragment programs are executed with the same code now. +
The SSE-optimized vertex program path has been removed since it didn't +support more than 12 temp registers, didn't support branching/looping, etc.
