Bug Description

[Impact]
We need a few packages backported to xenial for lts-hwe X stack.

Since the xserver is already at 1.18.4, the full stack from 16.10 will not be backported as a renamed set of packages. Instead, only the drivers with bugfix releases will be backported, plus the libraries and mesa that complement the set.

[Test case]

Run a desktop session, see that things still work

[Regression potential]

libdrm:
slim to none, changes from 2.4.67..2.4.70:
- amdgpu: spelling fixes
- ati: typo-/make check fixes
- intel: pci-id changes, already SRU'd
- nouveau: only some android makefile diff
- core: drmGetDevice fixes for multi-gpu

mesa:
included here just to keep the necessary backport bits in the same bug, the actual update testing will be handled on bug #1641017. That said:
- Intel validates new upstream releases on all their hw
- AMD probably does the same, though it's unverified
- this release was already tested by cert team on a handful of intel/amd machines

How can we ensure that this does not break existing 16.04 installs (with or without HWE)? Please add a test plan that covers at least the most widespread hardware (Intel, Nvidia, fglrx, free/proprietary drivers) and an overview of the regression potential based on the changes in the new libdrm version.

Proprietary drivers (nvidia versions, there is no fglrx anymore) don't use these.

The libdrm diff apart from freedreno (free driver for RasPi) is minimal, and actually reverting one commit which makes vc4 use headers from libdrm would make the backport unnecessary. It would be more useful to backport 2.4.73 from zesty instead.. (adds hw support for some amd polaris etc)

sorry, freedreno is the FOSS driver for adreno devices (some phones, tablets), RasPI has vc4
