[PATCH v4 00/14] drm/vkms: Reimplement line-per-line pixel conversion for plane reading

This patchset is the second version of [1]. It is almost a complete 
rewrite to use a line-by-line algorithm for the composition.
It can be divided in three parts:
- PATCH 1 to 4: no functional change is intended, only some formatting and 
documenting (PATCH 2 is taken from [2])
- PATCH 5 to 8: Some preparation work not directly related to the 
line-by-line algorithm
- PATCH 9: main patch for this series, it reintroduce the 
line-by-line algorithm
- PATCH 10 to 13: taken from Arthur's series [2], with sometimes 
adaptation to use the pixel-by-pixel algorithm.

The PATCH 9 aims to restore the line-by-line pixel reading algorithm. It 
was introduced in 8ba1648567e2 ("drm: vkms: Refactor the plane composer to 
accept new formats") but removed in 8ba1648567e2 ("drm: vkms: Refactor the 
plane composer to accept new formats") in a over-simplification effort. 
At this time, nobody noticed the performance impact of this commit. After 
the first iteration of my series, poeple notice performance impact, and it 
was the case. Pekka suggested to reimplement the line-by-line algorithm.

Expiriments on my side shown great improvement for the line-by-line 
algorithm, and the performances are the same as the original line-by-line 
algorithm. I targeted my effort to make the code working for all the 
rotations and translations. The usage of helpers from drm_rect_* avoid 
reimplementing existing logic.

The only "complex" part remaining is the clipping of the coordinate to 
avoid reading/writing outside of src/dst. Thus I added a lot of comments 
to help when someone will want to add some features (framebuffer resizing 
for example).

The YUV part is not mandatory for this series, but as my first effort was 
to help the integration of YUV, I decided to rebase Arthur's series on 
mine to help. I took [3], [4], [5] and [6] and adapted them to use the 
line-by-line reading. They were also updated to use 32.32 fixed point 
values for yuv conversion instead of 8.8 fixed points.

My series was mainly tested with:
- kms_plane (for color conversions)
- kms_rotation_crc (for rotations of planes)
- kms_cursor_crc (for translations)
The benchmark used to measure the improvment was done with:
- kms_fb_stress

Note: after my changes, those tests seems to pass, so [7] may need 
updating (I did not check, it was maybe already the case):
- kms_cursor_legacy at flip-vs-cursor-atomic
- kms_pipe_crc_basic at nonblocking-crc
- kms_pipe_crc_basic at nonblocking-crc-frame-sequence
- kms_writeback at writeback-pixel-formats
- kms_writeback at writeback-invalid-parameters
- kms_flip at flip-vs-absolute-wf_vblank-interruptible
And those tests pass, I did not investigate why the runners fails:
- kms_flip at flip-vs-expired-vblank-interruptible
- kms_flip at flip-vs-expired-vblank
- kms_flip at plain-flip-fb-recreate
- kms_flip at plain-flip-fb-recreate-interruptible
- kms_flip at plain-flip-ts-check-interruptible
- kms_cursor_legacy at cursorA-vs-flipA-toggle
- kms_pipe_crc_basic at nonblocking-crc
- kms_prop_blob at invalid-get-prop
- kms_flip at flip-vs-absolute-wf_vblank-interruptible
- kms_invalid_mode at zero-hdisplay
- kms_invalid_mode at bad-vtotal
- kms_cursor_crc.* (everything is SUCCEED or SKIP, but no fails)
