provider:checkbox: Add ability to test AMD hybrid graphics with open source drivers on Xenial
Starting with Xenial, AMD discrete GPU will use the open source drivers (either
'amdgpu' either 'radeon'). For the moment, these drivers do not come with a GUI,
so in order to activate the discrete GPU, users must setup PRIME offloading and
use the CLI and prefix any command with 'DRI_PRIME=1'.
Graphics tests were updated to reflect this. It should only impact devices
using an AMD discrete GPU and Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial).
