With Intel Gen12, WMF hardware decoder performance becomes worse with reusing decoder device. Until Bug 1893427 is addressed, it is necessary to block reusing decoder device on Intel gen12.

Downloadable blocklist entries did not have an explicit way to declare a
rule to affect all features prior to this patch. Instead they would
leave the "feature" attribute unset, which defaults us to
GfxDriverInfo::allFeatures. Now if it is unset, it defaults to
GfxDriverInfo::optionalFeatures. There are also explicit wildcard
feature strings, ALL and OPTIONAL respectively.

This patch makes it so that we avoid blocking all features with the
blocklist, and instead continue to allow the safe subset proscribed by
GfxInfoBase::OnlyAllowFeatureOnKnownConfig. Any feature allowed in an
unknown configuration should be allowed in a blanket blocklist entry,
unless we know for a fact that we need to also block them.

Gfx blocklist doesn't actually use the desktop environment filter so
remove that functionality. We can reintroduce it in the future if we
need it.

WebRender is a mature feature. We should start blocking it on known bad
devices over allowlisting known good devices. This may enable WebRender
in a few more obscure places than we shipped before.

A bug is not reported related to "zero copy hardware decoded video" on Windows. Zero video frame copy needs "reuse decoder device ". And it is already enabled on Nightly / Early Beta by Bug 1773714.

Avoid copying hardware decoded video is already enabled on intel GPU on nightly by Bug 1763280. This bug is for enabling it on nightly on another GPUs on Windows.
Blocked drivers are from chromium's "disable_dxgi_zero_copy_video" in gpu_driver_bug_list.json

This is a follow-up for bug1760464, we observed more crashes from devices which we didn't added to the block list before.
Therefore, we decided to block all Haswell GPUs for VP8 HW decoding (Intel supports that sine Broadwell) and a certain version of Intel driver.

This ends up enabling hw-wr on nightly on gen6 which was left disabled
for testing sw-wr, but should otherwise have no (or at least limited)
impact.

`swrast` is reported as fallback software driver. This happens with
unknown sw-drivers (e.g. zink on lavapipe), but also when `glxtest`
incorrectly detects software rendering. This can be confusing and
is basically always wrong - by now it even got removed from Mesa
and for years only has been used on niche setups.
Make this more clear by using "mesa/software-unknown" instead.
No functional change beyond reporting intended here.

Since Software WebRender is the replacement for Basic compositor, we
should not allow generic blocklist rules which block all features to
block Software WebRender. This feature must work under all
configurations, including safe mode, so it doesn't make sense to allow
blocking it.
This does not however prevent rules specifically targeting SW-WR from
blocking/allowing it.

This patch enables Software WebRender for all Linux users. If their
configuration is also allowlisted for (accelerated) WebRender, then they
will default to that over Software WebRender.

By default, anything we do for one Sandy Bridge gpu
we should do for all of them. See bug 1678388 for an
