Remove /usr/share/live/config/xserver-xorg/intel.ids

In Tails 3.x we had to ship /usr/share/live/config/xserver-xorg/intel.ids to force systems with various graphics adapters to use the “intel” video driver instead of the “modesetting” one because of #12219 (closed). In theory https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98742 was fixed in Linux 4.12 or 4.13 so for Tails on Buster we should try dropping this special casing, call for testing, and see if it introduces any regression.

Rationale: the “intel” video driver is not the preferred one anymore, it’s less maintained and should ideally not be used.
