[PATCH xserver 0/5] Remove (most) 24bpp support

Hardware basically doesn't support it, clients often handle it incorrectly,
and its mere existence adds overhead to the 32bpp path. If you really are
forced to use a 24bpp framebuffer you are almost certainly better off with
modesetting's strategy, which is to downconvert in the shadow upload hook.

First two remove the support code from xfree86 and fb. Second two clean up
some dead code from the acceleration layers. Last one is a resend of an
optimization to GetImage, which if 24bpp still existed would need to be
more complicated.
