Enable accelerated 2D canvas on linux

Project Member Reported by junov@chromium.org, Aug 18 2016 
The blanket blacklisting of accelerated 2D canvas on linux is obsolete.  It is an old entry dating back from a time where we did not know which specific drivers were buggy.

With the advent gpu rasterization, we now have more granular blacklisting of buggy linux drivers that we can count on for disabling gpu features. It should be safe to allow accelerated 2D canvas on all linuces with stable drivers.

Allow 2D canvases to be GPU accelerated on linux

Removing an old gpu blacklist entry that disabled GPU acceleration of
2D canvases on linux.  The decision at the time was motivated by the
fact that a larger number of linux drivers were unstable and that GL
contexts would get dropped under heavy resource strain.  Since that
time, buggy drivers have been identified, and there are other
blacklist entries that disable all GPU features when those drivers
are detected, and Chrome does a better job of avoiding GPU resource
strain from canvas backings.
