igb: change descriptor control thresholds
This change simplifies the code by setting RX_PTHRESH to 8 for all devices, as it was unlikely that there was any advantage to set it at 16 for earlier cards. Additionally TX_WTHRESH is set to 1 for the 82576 NIC to improve performance by enabling a minimal amount of write combining when writing back descriptors.
