chore: remove i915/amdgpu drivers

Drop i915 and amdgpu drivers from Talos rootfs, these will be packaged as extensions containing both firmware and drivers. Some modules like `ttm`, `i2c-algo-bit` etc have been left off since they are used by both amdgpu and i915, so makes sense to keep in plain talos.
