matroxfb: make CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y mandatory 

I would like to get rid of option CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD and just
always enable it.  There are many reasons for doing this:

* CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y is what all x86 distributions do, so it
  definitely works or we would know by now.

* Building the matroxfb driver with CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD not set
  results in the following build warning:

drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c: In function 'matroxfb_dh_open':
drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c:265: warning: the address of 'matroxfb_global_mxinfo' will always evaluate as 'true'
drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c: In function 'matroxfb_dh_release':
drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c:285: warning: the address of 'matroxfb_global_mxinfo' will always evaluate as 'true'

This is nothing to be worried about, the driver will work fine, but build
warnings are still annoying.

* The trick to get multihead support without CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD,
  which is described in the config help text, no longer works: you can't
  load the same kernel module more than once.

* I fail to see how CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y would make the code
  significantly slower, contrary to what the help text says.  A few extra
  parameters on the stack here and there can't really slow things down in
  comaprison to the rest of the code, and register access.

* The driver built without CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD is larger than the
  driver build with CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y by 8%.

* One less configuration option makes things simpler.  We add options
  all the time, being able to remove one for once is nice.  It improves
  testing coverage.  And I don't think the Matrox adapters are still
  popular enough to warrant overdetailed configuration settings.

* We should be able to unobfuscate the driver code quite a bit after
  this change (patches follow.)

config FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD
bool "Multihead support"
depends on FB_MATROX
---help---
Say Y here if you have more than one (supported) Matrox device in
your computer and you want to use all of them for different monitors
("multihead"). If you have only one device, you should say N because
the driver compiled with Y is larger and a bit slower, especially on
ia32 (ix86).
If you said M to "Matrox unified accelerated driver" and N here, you
will still be able to use several Matrox devices simultaneously:
insert several instances of the module matroxfb into the kernel
with insmod, supplying the parameter "dev=N" where N is 0, 1, etc.
for the different Matrox devices. This method is slightly faster but
uses 40 KB of kernel memory per Matrox card.
There is no need for enabling 'Matrox multihead support' if you have
only one Matrox card in the box.
