Summary:
The AMS code accesses elements in a vector which might not be valid. This
change refactors the code to be more robust, especially the DrmPlane,
which started to crash after adding transformation support.

Summary:
The idea behind getting the supported transformations is to tell KScreen
which transformations are actually supported and thus not even allow the
user select a setting which is not supported.

This patch makes the AMS execution path work with the new DrmCrtc and
DrmBuffer structure and solves major issues about:
* VT switching
* DPMS
* Hot plugging
* Logout
* Memory leaks
Test Plan:
Tested with Gl and QPainter.

This is Milestone 1 of full support of Atomic Mode Setting (AMS) and
Universal Planes in the KWin DRM backend.
With Milestone 1 we can use the primary plane of a DRM output and do an
AMS commit (this means mode setting aswell as page flipping), if the
driver supports it. Until now the functionality is only tested on Intel
graphics. You need the drm-next kernel for most recent DRM kernel
developments. As boot option set "i915.nuclear_pageflip". Additionally
at the moment AMS is still hidden behind the environment variable
KWIN_DRM_AMS. Set it, if you want to try out AMS.
What needs to be done next: Make it possible to transfer EGL buffers
directly to planes and implement logic for deciding about using a plane
or not for a specific buffer.
