[PATCH] drm: drm_fourcc: add 10/12bit software decoder YCbCr formats

This adds FOURCCs for 10/12bit YCbCr formats used by software decoders
like ffmpeg, dav1d and libvpx. The intended use-case is buffer sharing
between SW-decoders and GPUs by allocating buffers with udmabuf or
dma-heaps, avoiding unnecessary copies or format conversions.

Unlike formats typically used by hardware decoders these formats
use a LSB alignment. In order to allow fast implementations in GL
and Vulkan the padding must contain only zeros, so the float
representation can calculated by simple multiplicating with 2^6=64
or 2^4=16.

WIP MRs for Mesa, Vulkan and Gstreamer can be found at:
 - https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/34303
 - https://github.com/rmader/Vulkan-Docs/commits/ycbcr-16bit-lsb-formats/
 - https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/8540

The values where inspired by the corresponding VA_FOURCC_I010, however
suggestions are very welcome.
