[PATCH v2 1/2] drm/amdgpu: Add amdgpu "max bpc" connector property

[Why]
Many panels support more than 8bpc but some modes are unavailable while
running at greater than 8bpc due to DP/HDMI bandwidth constraints.

Support for more than 8bpc was added recently in the driver but it
defaults to the maximum supported bpc - locking out these modes.

This should be a user configurable option such that the user can select
what bpc configuration they would like.

[How]
This patch introduces the "max bpc" amdgpu driver specific connector
property so the user can limit the maximum bpc. It ranges from 8 to 16.

This doesn't directly set the preferred bpc for the panel since it
follows Intel's existing driver conventions.

This proprety should be removed once common drm support for max bpc
lands.
