We should just switch to blocking things. That will give us better info in about:support when people are blocked when they don't expect to be.

Essentially a port of D130926 to Linux. As result we enable HW-WR on
all Intel devices on gen 6 (sandybridge) and newer, i.e. all hardware
that supports GL(ES) 3.x.
Also stop blocking Baytrail. It was added in bug 1708682 which turned
out to be a duplicate of bug 1710400.

Try build to make sure the blocking still works on gen <= 5 devices: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/jobs?repo=try&revision=bac258ef03900827eaabcccf5497e20916030570

This mostly affects ARM drivers which become more and more popular
and capable, see https://mesamatrix.net/
Block GL(ES) < 3 hardware to reduce noise on older hardware.
Depends on D133572

Todos:
- add blocklist for AMD
- add blocklist for Nvidia
- potentially add further blocklists (see e.g. bug 1738816)
- ship D133573 on release

The leave-open keyword is there and there is no activity for 6 months.
:gw, maybe it's time to close this bug?

Sorry, there was a problem with the detection of inactive users. I'm reverting the change.
