efedddd905 [DRM plugin] Reorganize DrmBuffer
Split off GBM based buffers to a separate file, which gets only included,
when GBM is available.

Note, that this also removes the gbmCallback, since already before this
patch we did delete the buffers always without it.

The plan is to later use this file for via GBM directly imported Wayland
buffers as well.

Test Plan:
Tested with Gl and QPainter backends.

997cf97c9f Atomic Mode Setting / Universal Plane preliminary support
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.

You can read more about it on LWN:

2bff90976e Move backends/ to plugins/platforms/
Summary:
Source code reorganization:
The base class AbstractBackend got renamed to Platform, thus the
"backends" are "platforms" now. As they are plugins they should go
together with other KWin plugins which are nowadays in the folder
plugins.

So new location is plugins/platforms/
