Please drop debian/patches/disable-rotation-transform-gpuscreens.patch of xorg-server

[Shih-Yuan Lee]

[Impact]
Display rotation does not work when the NVIDIA driver is used. This is caused by a distro patch to xserver which disables it, because the NVIDIA driver had issues in the past.

NVIDIA Graphics driver 375.66 has supported the rotation since Ubuntu 16.04.

[Test case]
Install nvidia blob, try to rotate with xrandr or the display capplet.

[Regression potential]
No other distro shipped with such a patch, so there should be minimal risk of regressing anything.

this is fixed since zesty

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

a new version is now in -proposed, please test and change the tag to verification-done-xenial if it works

[Shih-Yuan Lee (fourdollars)]

I have verified the xorg packages in xenial-proposed on some laptop with NVIDIA Graphics and it does fix the problem.
