[Intel-gfx] [ANNOUNCE] upcoming mandated dim upgrade due to drm-intel branch change

[Jani Nikula]

TL;DR:
- On 2020-12-05, drm-intel-next-queued will be decommissioned
- drm-intel committers need to start using drm-intel-next instead
- Everyone needs to upgrade dim *after* the change


Full story:

For historical reasons, we've had separate drm-intel-next-queued
("dinq") and drm-intel-next ("din") branches for development and pull
requests, respectively. This split has not been necessary for a while
now, so we'll finally remove dinq, and start applying patches directly
to drm-intel-next.

We'll make the switch on 2020-12-05.

This change requires a flag-day change in dim, i.e. everyone will need
to upgrade dim *after* the switch. (The details of the flag-day change
are covered in [1].)

All the current dinq related commands and aliases (such as 'dim conq',
'dim aq', and 'dim pq') will continue to work, except they'll operate on
drm-intel-next.


BR,
Jani.
