platforms/drm: explicit modifiers

Xaver Hugl requested to merge work/modifier-support into master

IN_FORMATS contains information about which buffer formats can be scanned out with a given drm plane. Using these plane-specific format+modifier combinations as well as explicit modifiers in general can yield bandwidth and performance improvements, especially in multi-gpu systems. As there is a potential for issues though, explicit modifiers for surfaces can be disabled with the environment variable KWIN_DRM_NO_MODIFIERS.
