New Card system detect

For modern X-server and udev old card detect mechanism need only for Proprietary blobs. Other card automatically detect with kernel/udev parts and XFdrake not needing for use setup (monitors detect automatically too). We need rework this part.

Also we need simplify merge2pcitable script, drop not usefull and oldest part

  1. Recreate pcilist, drop all Card: xxxxx part
  2. Use naiming via vesa/fglrx, ati/fglrx or nvidia-long-lived for drivers (may be ATI/AMD free/proprietary (ati/fglrx) and NVIDIA free/proprietary (nouveau/nvidia-long-lived))

Simplify and Rework

  1. In merge2pcitable leave:
    1. ATI/AMD hack and cvs/legacy/current ATI/AMD card detect
    2. NVIDIA hack and detect
    3. KMS module hack and detect (aliase)
    4. pciids
  2. See needing Suse (hwinfo) and RH (rhxxx) part
  3. Automate create pcitable and usbtable with download latest version of Hardware
  4. Reflect this change in new XFdrake
