    igb: Match Tx descriptor control to iflib
    
    iflib requests transmit completion status only on selected descriptors.
    Program a zero writeback threshold so igb hardware honors those sparse
    RS bits instead of writing back every descriptor in threshold-sized
    batches.
    
    Use the existing family specific prefetch threshold: eight descriptors
    on most controllers and 20 on I354, with a host threshold of one.  These
    values match the Intel-derived Linux and DPDK drivers.  Their nonzero
    writeback settings are not appropriate here because those drivers set
    RS on every packet.
    
    A zero writeback threshold also avoids depending on interrupt timer
    flushes affected by 82576 specification update erratum 26.  Remove the
    old IGB_TX_WTHRESH macro as well.  It has had no callers since the iflib
    conversion, so its 82575 conditional no longer implements any policy.
    
    MFC after:      2 weeks
