[PATCH v2 17/27] drm/connector: Add "Media" VRR display mode for QMS

HDMI includes a feature called "Quick Media Switching", or QMS for
short, which builds upon the existing VRR to allow for quick switching
between a select few common frame rates.

Add a new VRR display mode, "VRR_DISPLAY_MODE_MEDIA", to the
vrr_display_mode connector property, in order to expose support for
this.

Additionally, add a boolean flag to the connector's HDMI sub-struct with
which source-side support for QMS can be indicated, as well as the QMS
tfr byte to the HDMI state sub-struct.
