[v6,0/9] Add new formats support to vkms

Message

Summary
=======
This series of patches refactor some vkms components in order to introduce
new formats to the planes and writeback connector.

Now in the blend function, the plane's pixels are converted to ARGB16161616
and then blended together.

The CRC is calculated based on the ARGB1616161616 buffer. And if required,
this buffer is copied/converted to the writeback buffer format.

And to handle the pixel conversion, new functions were added to convert
from a specific format to ARGB16161616 (the reciprocal is also true).

Tests
=====
This patch series was tested using the following igt tests:
-t ".*kms_plane.*"
-t ".*kms_writeback.*"
-t ".*kms_cursor_crc*"
-t ".*kms_flip.*"

New tests passing
-------------------
- pipe-A-cursor-size-change
- pipe-A-cursor-alpha-transparent

Performance
-----------
It's running slightly faster than the current implementation.

Results running the IGT[1] test
`igt@kms_cursor_crc@pipe-a-cursor-512x512-onscreen` ten times:

Memory consumption
==================
It consumes less memory than the current implementation in
the common case (more detail in the commit message).

XRGB to ARGB behavior
=====================
During the development, I decided to always fill the alpha channel of
the output pixel whenever the conversion from a format without an alpha
channel to ARGB16161616 is necessary. Therefore, I ignore the value
received from the XRGB and overwrite the value with 0xFFFF.

Primary plane and CRTC size
===========================
This patch series reworks the blend function to accept a primary plane with
a different size and position from CRTC.
Because now we need to fill the background, we had a loss in
performance with this change

Alpha channel output for XRGB formats
=====================================
There's still an open question about which value the writeback alpha channel
should be for XRGB formats.
The current igt test implementation is expecting the channel to not be change.
But it's not entirely clear if this should be the behavior followed by vkms
(or any other driver).
