[PATCH 18/20] drm/amd/display: Use DAC load detection on analog connectors

This feature is useful for analog connections without EDID:
- Really old monitors with a VGA connector
- Cheap DVI/VGA adapters that don't connect DDC pins
When a connection is established through DAC load detection,
the driver is supposed to fill in the supported modes for the
display, which we already do in amdgpu_dm_connector_get_modes.
