DrmOutputManager

[cmeissl]

highly wip of the ideas described here: pop-os/cosmic-comp#969 (comment)

it implements most of the stuff, except:

• the capabilities stuff
• the actual format selection
• some things are stubs and need to be implemented properly

not extensively tested, but anvil seems to still be able to launch.
returning an error from DrmCompositor::new also successfully triggers the format selection
logic

TODO

A lot...

• Verify that this does not mess up the render logic with multiple commits triggering vblanks
  If this turns out to be problematic we can disable the event for commit_frame, but we need to make sure
  to kick off rendering in this case somehow..

Addressed in 3fe19dd. While it works okay-ish for anvil, it definitely would mess up state tracking in niri and cosmic-comp and while potentially work-arounds exists, at least in the latter with multi-threading this requires ugly synchronization, while the point of this api is to hide that.

All the code paths seem to now work pretty nicely in pop-os/cosmic-comp#1020 (though I don't have any devices that actually have to use these paths, I just forced them manually). This just needs a new pixman-rs release to pass tests.

So, in general I believe the changes, except the one limiting the primary format, are pretty harmless. The DrmOutputManager is a really nice optional addition which will definitely need some more work in the future. But I feel like this provides a solid base to do so. I am really happy how this turned out, thanks!

I really like the approach with DrmOutputRenderElements, nice work :)

pixman-rs 0.2.1 is out
