i965: Micro-optimize brw_get_index_type

With the switch-statement, GCC 4.8.3 produces a small pile of code with
a branch.

00000000 <brw_get_index_type>:
  000000:       8b 54 24 04             mov    0x4(%esp),%edx
  000004:       b8 01 00 00 00          mov    $0x1,%eax
  000009:       81 fa 03 14 00 00       cmp    $0x1403,%edx
  00000f:       74 0d                   je     00001e <brw_get_index_type+0x1e>
  000011:       31 c0                   xor    %eax,%eax
  000013:       81 fa 05 14 00 00       cmp    $0x1405,%edx
  000019:       0f 94 c0                sete   %al
  00001c:       01 c0                   add    %eax,%eax
  00001e:       c3                      ret

However, this could be two instructions.

00000000 <brw_get_index_type>:
  000000:       2d 01 14 00 00          sub    $0x1401,%eax
  000005:       d1 e8                   shr    %eax
  000007:       90                      nop
  000008:       90                      nop
  000009:       90                      nop
  00000a:       90                      nop
  00000b:       c3                      ret

The function was also moved to the header so that it could be inlined at
the two call sites.  Without this, 32-bit also needs to pull the
parameter from the stack.  This means there is a push, a call, a move,
and a ret added to a two instruction function.  The above code shows the
function with __attribute__((regparm=1)), but even this adds several
extra instructions.  There is also an extra instruction on 64-bit to
move the parameter to %eax for the subtract.

On Bay Trail-D using Fedora 20 compile flags (-m64 -O2 -mtune=generic
for 64-bit and -m32 -march=i686 -mtune=atom for 32-bit), affects
Gl32Batch7:

32-bit: Difference at 95.0% confidence 0.818589% +/- 0.234661% (n=40)
64-bit: Difference at 95.0% confidence 0.54554% +/- 0.354092% (n=40)
