A while back, Michael Larabel noticed that Paraview's Wavelet Volume
case runs significantly slower on iris than i965. It turns out this
is because we enable CCS_E for 32-bit floating point formats, while
i965 disables it, with an oblique comment saying that we benchmarked
it (on what exactly?) and determined that it was a loss.
Paraview uses both R32_FLOAT and R32G32B32A32_FLOAT, and I observed
large framerate drops when enabling CCS_E for either format. However,
several other benchmarks (Aztec Ruins, many Synmark cases) use 16-bit
floating point formats, with no apparent ill effects.
So, disable compression for 32-bit float formats for now, but leave it
enabled for 16-bit float formats as they seem to be working fine.
Improves performance in Paraview's Wavelet Volume test by 62% on a
Skylake GT4e.
