From: Varad Gautam <varad.gautam at collabora.com>

advertise the supported fourcc format modifiers along with supported
formats to the client. the 'modifier' event introduced here is
intended to replace the 'format' event from zwp_linux_dmabuf_v1
version 1.

bump zwp_linux_dmabuf_v1, zwp_linux_buffer_params_v1 interface
versions to 3.

v2: specify request name in event description for clarity (Yong Bakos)
v3: grammar fixup (Yong Bakos)
v4: add deprecation warning against 'format' event usage (pq)
