i965: Consign COORD_REPLACE VS hacks to Pre-Gen6.

Pre-Gen6, the SF thread requires exact matching between VS output
slots (aka VUE slots) and FS input slots, even when the corresponding
VS output slot is unused due to being overwritten by point coordinate
replacement (glTexEnvi(GL_POINT_SPRITE, GL_COORD_REPLACE, GL_TRUE)).
As a result, we have a special hack in the VS to ensure when any
texture coordinate is subject to point coordinate replacement, it is
always allocated space in the VUE, even if it isn't written to by the
VS.

This hack isn't needed from Gen6 onwards, since SF (Gen7: SBE)
swizzling has the ability to insert the point coordinate into
gl_TexCoord[] without needing a corresponding unused VUE slot.

Note that no modification of SF setup code is required for this
patch--get_attr_override() already does the right thing.  However, we
make a slight comment change to clarify why this works.

In addition to eliminating unnecessary VS recompiles and saving
precious URB space on Gen6+, this will save us the trouble of having
to adjust this hack when we implement geometry shaders.
