"max bpc" is a maximum value, the driver is free to choose a
smaller value depending on the bandwidth available.
Some faulty monitors misbehave with higher bpc values. We'll add
a workaround if users get hit by these in practice.

The EDID 1.4 spec says that the serial number is optional:
> If this field is not used, then enter “00h, 00h, 00h, 00h”.
Leave the wlr_output.serial field NULL in that case, and hide it
from the output description.
CTA-861-G says that "graphics" is used to indicate non-analog (ie,
digital) content. With that bit set, the sink should turn off analog
reconstruction and other related filtering.
Some output commits (changing e.g. the output scale or transform)
don't require any change in the KMS state. Instead of going through
a KMS commit, return early. Blocking KMS commits can be expensive.
The wlr_output API requires compositors to wait for wlr_output.frame
before submitting a new buffer. However, compositors can perform a
commit which doesn't involve a buffer anytime.
If the commit is a modeset, we set DRM_MODE_ATOMIC_ALLOW_MODESET and
block until the commit is done. If it isn't, we currently always
perform a non-blocking commit. This is an issue because a previous
page-flip might still be in flight kernel-side, returning EBUSY.
Fix this by using blocking commits when a buffer isn't submitted by
the compositor.

This allows the make/model/serial to be NULL when unset, and allows
them to be longer than the hardcoded array length.
This is a breaking change: compositors need to handle the new NULL
case, and we stop setting make/model to useless "headless" or
"wayland" strings.
Prior to [1], if an entry in a DRM format set was different than a
single LINEAR modifier, implicit modifiers were always allowed. This
has changed and now implicit modifiers are only allowed if INVALID
is in the list of modifiers.
So now we can safely enable explicit modifiers for cross-GPU imports,
without risking receiving buffers with an implicit modifier. This
should improve perf a bit on setups where two GPUs from the same vendor
are used.
This fixes the first bullet point from [2].

Maintaining our internal table up-to-date is tedious: one needs to
manually go through the PnP ID registry [1] and check whether we're
missing any entry.
udev_hwdb already has an API to fetch a manufacturer name from its
PnP ID. Use that instead.

wlroots picks names for all outputs, but it might be desirable for
compositor to override it.
For instance, Sway will use a headless output as a fallback in
case no outputs are connected. Sway wants to clearly label the
fallback output as such and label "real" headless outputs starting
from HEADLESS-1.
drmModeAddFB2 doesn't support explicit modifiers. Only accept INVALID
which indicates an implicit modifier and LINEAR which may indicate
that GBM_BO_USE_LINEAR has been used.
They are never used in practice, which makes all of our flag
handling effectively dead code. Also, APIs such as KMS don't
provide a good way to deal with the flags. Let's just fail the
DMA-BUF import when clients provide flags.
The BO handle table exists to avoid double-closing a BO handle,
which aren't reference-counted by the kernel. But if we can
guarantee that there is only ever a single ref for each BO handle,
then we don't need the BO handle table anymore.
This is possible if we create the handle right before the ADDFB2
IOCTL, and close the handle right after. The handles are very
short-lived and we don't need to track their lifetime.
Because of multi-planar FBs, we need to be a bit careful: some
FB planes might share the same handle. But with a small check, it's
easy to avoid double-closing the same handle (which wouldn't be a
big deal anyways).
There's one gotcha though: drmModeSetCursor2 takes a BO handle as
input. Saving the handles until drmModeSetCursor2 time would require
us to track BO handle lifetimes, so we wouldn't be able to get rid
of the BO handle table. As a workaround, use drmModeGetFB to turn the
FB ID back to a BO handle, call drmModeSetCursor2 and then immediately
close the BO handle. The overhead should be minimal since these IOCTLs
are pretty cheap.

Instead of ensuring the renderer and allocator are initialized in each
backend, do it in wlr_backend_autocreate. This allows compositors to
create backends without any renderer/allocator if they side-step
wlr_backend_autocreate.
Since the wlr_backend_get_renderer and backend_get_allocator end up
calling wlr_renderer_autocreate and wlr_allocator_autocreate, it sounds
like a good idea to centralize all of the opimionated bits in one place.
Expose the panel orientation with wlr_drm_connector_get_panel_orientation.
Leave it to the compositor to consume this information and configure the
output accordingly.
Closes: https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/1581
Modesets require a buffer. The DRM backend tried to auto-enable
outputs when a CRTC becomes available in the past, but now that
fails because no buffer is available.
Instead of having this magic inside the DRM backend, a better
approach is to do it in the compositor or in an optional helper.
