drm: add atomic properties

Once a driver is using atomic helpers for modeset, the next step is to
switch over to atomic properties.  To do this, make sure that any
modeset objects have their ->atomic_{get,set}_property() vfuncs suitably
populated if they have custom properties (you did already remember to
plug in atomic-helper func for the legacy ->set_property() vfuncs,
right?), and then set DRIVER_ATOMIC bit in driver_features flag.

A new cap is introduced, DRM_CLIENT_CAP_ATOMIC, for the purposes of
shielding legacy userspace from atomic properties.  Mostly for the
benefit of legacy DDX drivers that do silly things like getting/setting
each property at startup (since some of the new atomic properties will
be able to trigger modeset).

Driver supports atomic properties. In this case the driver
must implement appropriate obj->atomic_get_property() vfuncs
for any modeset objects with driver specific properties.
