[PATCH 2/9] drm: Add variable refresh property to DRM CRTC

Variable refresh rate algorithms have typically been enabled only
when the display is covered by a single source of content.

This patch introduces a new default CRTC property that helps
hint to the driver when the CRTC composition is suitable for variable
refresh rate algorithms. Userspace can set this property dynamically
as the composition changes.

Whether the variable refresh rate algorithms are active will still
depend on the CRTC being suitable and the connector being capable
and enabled by the user for variable refresh rate support.

It is worth noting that while the property is atomic it isn't filtered
from legacy userspace queries. This allows for Xorg userspace drivers
to implement support in non-atomic setups.
