softpipe: fix Z interpolation invariance bug

We want quad/pixel Z values to be interpolated exactly the same for
multi-pass algorithms.  Because of how the optimized Z-test code is
written, we can't cull the first quad in a run even if it's totally
killed.  See the comment for more info.

NOTE: This is a candidate for the 7.11 branch.
