[PATCH 5/6 v2] libdrm: reduce number of reallocations in drmModeAtomicAddProperty

From: Adrian Salido <salidoa at google.com>

When calling drmModeAtomicAddProperty allocation of memory
happens as needed in increments of 16 elements. This can be very
slow if there are multiple properties to be updated in an Atomic
Commit call.

Increase this to as many as can fit in a memory PAGE to avoid
having to reallocate memory too often.

Also this patch has a small one line perf tweak in
drmModeAtomicDuplicate() to only memcpy items to the cursor
position in order avoid copying the entire item array if its
mostly empty.
