Nicolai Hähnle e4cb3af524 radeonsi: enable multi-draw related pipe caps
This enables GL_shader_draw_parameters and GL_ARB_indirect_parameters as well
as a properly accelerated implementation of GL_ARB_multi_draw_indirect.

Enabling the feature requires a sufficiently uptodate firmware -- those have
already been released a long time ago, although this does mean that the
feature only works with the amdgpu kernel module, since the radeon module
doesn't have a way to query the firmware version.

<h1>Mesa 12.1.0 Release Notes / TBD</h1>
<p>
Mesa 12.1.0 is a new development release.
People who are concerned with stability and reliability should stick
with a previous release or wait for Mesa 12.1.1.
</p>
<p>
Mesa 12.1.0 implements the OpenGL 4.4 API, but the version reported by
glGetString(GL_VERSION) or glGetIntegerv(GL_MAJOR_VERSION) /
glGetIntegerv(GL_MINOR_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 4.4. OpenGL
4.4 is <strong>only</strong> available if requested at context creation
because compatibility contexts are not supported.
