[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v3 03/14] drm: add hdmi 2.0 source identifier

This patch adds a bool variable (is_hdmi2_src) in the drm connector
structure. While handling the EDID for HDMI 2.0 sinks, its important
to know if the source is HDMI 2.0 capable or not, so that a lot of
work can be done/bypassed based on this information. One such example
is adding YCBCR420 only modes.

If the driver knows that this source is not HDMI 2.0 capable, it will
not add YCBCR420-only modes while adding EDID modes, and will prevent
any runtime modeset failures.

This variable will be initialized from I915 driver in the next patch
and will be used in the EDID handling for HDMI 2.0 specific features,
in this same series.
