Potential fix for T43987, ambient occlusion different between offscreen

and on screen rendering.

Aaaaah, the beauty of driver implementations of OpenGL!

Turns out the problem here is that drivers calculate df/dy differently
in some cases (probably because OpenGL counts y reverse to how the
window system does, so drivers can get confused).

Fixed this for the ATI case based on info we have so far, there's also
the Intel case which will be handled separately (missing info on Intel's
renderer string etc).

Unfortunately we can't really fix this for the general case so we'll
have to haldle cases as they come in our tracker and by adding silly
string comparisons in our GPU initialization module <sigh>.
