windows: Enable ANGLE D3D11 renderer by default

Also, remove the -angle-d3d11 configure option, as it no longer is
necessary to select the renderer at build time.

The D3D11 renderer is the default renderer in upstream ANGLE, and has
been shown to be a more reliable solution for developers running over
remote desktop and inside virtual machines. It also provides more features
to the OpenGL ES implementation.

This configuration switch does not disable the D3D9 render; if the GPU
does not support D3D11, D3D9 is used instead.

[ChangeLog][QtGui][Windows] The ANGLE D3D11 renderer was enabled by
default. Systems which cannot use the new renderer will automatically fall
back to the D3D9 renderer at runtime.
