[PATCH v2 1/2] drm: Introduce a new connector status

This patch introduces a new boolean variable used to track connector's
connect/disconnect status and it is being used on both polling and
the HPD (Hot Plug Detect) paths.

A subsequent patch would make use of this connector status to propagate
per-connector udev hot plug events. This allows user-space to receive
the connector's ID, rather than having a generic hot-plug event for all
connectors, or in the HPD path, just the first one found with a
connection status change.
