vga_switcheroo: Add handler flags infrastructure
Allow handlers to declare their capabilities and allow clients to obtain that information. So far we have these use cases: * If the handler is able to switch DDC separately, clients need to probe EDID with drm_get_edid_switcheroo(). We should allow them to detect a capable handler to ensure this function only gets called when needed. * Likewise if the handler is unable to switch AUX separately, the active client needs to communicate link training parameters to the inactive client, which may then skip the AUX handshake and set up its output with these pre-calibrated values (DisplayPort specification v1.1a, section 2.5.3.3). Clients need a way to recognize such a situation. The flags for the radeon_atpx_handler and amdgpu_atpx_handler are initially set to 0, this can later on be amended with handler_flags |= VGA_SWITCHEROO_CAN_SWITCH_DDC; when a ->switch_ddc callback is added.
