drm/i915: add force_probe module parameter to replace alpha_support
The i915.alpha_support module parameter has caused some confusion along the way. Add new i915.force_probe parameter to specify PCI IDs of devices to probe, when the devices are recognized but not automatically probed by the driver. The name is intended to reflect what the parameter effectively does, avoiding any overloaded semantics of "alpha" and "support". The parameter supports "" to disable, "<pci-id>,[<pci-id>,...]" to enable force probe for one or more devices, and "*" to enable force probe for all known devices. Also add new CONFIG_DRM_I915_FORCE_PROBE config option to replace the DRM_I915_ALPHA_SUPPORT option. This defaults to "*" if DRM_I915_ALPHA_SUPPORT=y. Instead of replacing i915.alpha_support immediately, let the two coexist for a while, with a deprecation message, for a transition period.
