[PATCH 4/6] xfree86: Remove the pretense of EDID v2 support

We don't do anything with EDID v2 blocks besides publish them on the
root window.  Worse, the check deleted by this patch would attempt to
take a checksum of arbitrary memory if the rawData array isn't 256+
bytes long (and, for the monitors mentioned, it probably is only 128).
