gallium: fix PIPE_QUERY_TIMESTAMP_DISJOINT
The semantics didn't really make sense, not really matching neither d3d9 (though the docs are all broken there) nor d3d10. So make it match d3d10 semantics, which actually gives meaning to the "disjoint" part. Drivers are fixed up in a very primitive way, I have no idea what could actually cause the counter to become unreliable so just always return FALSE for the disjoint part.
