[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 07/16] drm/i915/crt: Explicitly return false if connected to a digital monitor

Rather than proceed on and silently return false by default, mention why
we rejected the presence of an EDID as implying the presence of a VGA
monitor. (The question arises whether there is a broken EDID which falsely
reports a digital connection when attached by VGA.)
