Remove vid_ref cvar

Normally setting gl_mode cvar would result in VID_LoadRefresh because
of vid_ref being "modified". After removing vid_ref out of the picture
it will "modify" vid_fullscreen to replicate the same behaviour.

Variable "name" (who used to hold refresh dll name) is now left unused

All references to vid_ref cvar has been taken out ...
