name cleanup for x86 model strings and intel pci device strings

x86 CPU:
* Remove (R), (TM), etc
* AMD: remove redundant "X2 Dual Core", "X4 Quad Core", etc
* Move vendor to front if not already
* Remove speed, as the actual speed is usually right next to it
* Remove "CPU", "APU", "Processor" to shorten
* Compress space

Intel GPU:
* Remove (R)
* Abbreviate "Generation": "Gen"
* Remove "Processor", "Controller", and "Device" to shorten
* Compress space

Some examples:
x86 CPU:
'AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-32' ---> 'AMD Turion 64 Mobile ML-32'
'Cyrix MediaGXtm MMXtm Enhanced' ---> 'Cyrix MediaGX MMX Enhanced'
'Transmeta(tm) Crusoe(tm) Processor TM5800' ---> 'Transmeta Crusoe TM5800'
'VIA Nano X2 L4350 @ 1.6+ GHz' ---> 'VIA Nano X2 L4350'
'AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor TK-53' ---> 'AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK-53'
'Embedded AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 23KS EE' ---> 'AMD Embedded Opteron 23KS EE'
'Intel(R) Atom(TM) x5-Z8300 CPU @ 1.44GHz' ---> 'Intel Atom x5-Z8300'
'Intel(R) Pentium(R) III CPU - S         1400MHz' ---> 'Intel Pentium III - S'
'Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 165' ---> 'AMD Dual Core Opteron 165'
'Genuine Intel(R) CPU T1350 @ 1.86GHz' ---> 'Intel T1350'
'AMD Phenom(tm) 9350e Quad-Core Processor' ---> 'AMD Phenom 9350e Quad-Core'
Intel GPU:
'Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Integrated Graphics Controller' ---> 'Atom/Celeron/Pentium x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Integrated Graphics'
'4th Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller' ---> '4th Gen Core Family Integrated Graphics'
'Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (secondary)' ---> 'Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics (secondary)'
'Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller' ---> 'Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics'

Also:
Fix/replace the appf() and SEQ() that were peppered about.
