fbdev: remove cyblafb driver

Browse Source 
A tridentfb driver has all the functionality of the cyblafb driver without
the bugs of the latter.

Changes to the tridentfb driver:

- FBINFO_READS_FAST added to the tridentfb.  The cyblafb used a blitter
  for scrolling which is faster than color expansion on Cyberblade
  chipsets.  The blitter is slower on a discrete Blade3D core.  Use the
  blitter for scrolling in the tridentfb only for integrated Blade3D
  cores.  Now, scrolling speed is about equal for the tridentfb and the
  cyblafb.

- a copyright notice addition is done on request of Jani Monoses (the
  first author of the tridentfb).

Tested on AGP Blade3D card and PCChips
M787CLR motherboard: VIA C3 cpu +
VT8601 north  bridge (aka Cyberblade/i1).
