Remove support for 'auto'(-1) value of XV_SYNC_TO_VBLANK
We previously had a heurstic here where we would only sync to vblank for windows that covered more than 25% of the screen. We don't need this anymore since the new approach to sync, (WAIT_FOR_SCANLINE_WINDOW), is not excessively costly for small windows.

XV_SYNC_TO_VBLANK is used to control whether textured adapter synchronizes
-the screen update to the vblank to eliminate tearing. It has three
-values 'auto'(-1), 'off'(0) and 'on(1). 'off' means never sync, 'on' means
-always sync, no matter what size, and 'auto' means sync if the Xv image is
-more than quarter of the pixels on the screen. The default is 'auto'(-1).
+the screen update to the vblank to eliminate tearing. It is a Boolean
+attribute with values of 0 (never sync) or 1 (always sync). An historic
+value of -1 (sync for large windows only) will now be interpreted as 1,
