Consolidate custom driver modeset properties

--------------------------------------------



Before atomic modeset took place, many drivers where creating their own

properties. Among other things, atomic brought the requirement that custom,

driver specific properties should not be used.



For this task, we aim to introduce core helpers or reuse the existing ones

if available:



A quick, unconfirmed, examples list.



Introduce core helpers:

- audio (amdgpu, intel, gma500, radeon)

- brightness, contrast, etc (armada, nouveau) - overlay only (?)

- broadcast rgb (gma500, intel)

- colorkey (armada, nouveau, rcar) - overlay only (?)

- dither (amdgpu, nouveau, radeon) - varies across drivers

- underscan family (amdgpu, radeon, nouveau)



Already in core:

- colorspace (sti)

- tv format names, enhancements (gma500, intel)

- tv overscan, margins, etc. (gma500, intel)

- zorder (omapdrm) - same as zpos (?)
