drm/vkms: Re-introduce line-per-line composition algorithm

Re-introduce a line-by-line composition algorithm for each pixel format.
This allows more performance by not requiring an indirection per pixel
read. This patch is focused on readability of the code.

Line-by-line composition was introduced by [1] but rewritten back to
pixel-by-pixel algorithm in [2]. At this time, nobody noticed the impact
on performance, and it was merged.

This patch is almost a revert of [2], but in addition efforts have been
made to increase readability and maintainability of the rotation handling.
The blend function is now divided in two parts:
- Transformation of coordinates from the output referential to the source
referential
- Line conversion and blending

Most of the complexity of the rotation management is avoided by using
drm_rect_* helpers. The remaining complexity is around the clipping, to
avoid reading/writing outside source/destination buffers.

The pixel conversion is now done line-by-line, so the read_pixel_t was
replaced with read_pixel_line_t callback. This way the indirection is only
required once per line and per plane, instead of once per pixel and per
plane.

The read_line_t callbacks are very similar for most pixel format, but it
is required to avoid performance impact. Some helpers for color
conversion were introduced to avoid code repetition:
- *_to_argb_u16: perform colors conversion. They should be inlined by the
  compiler, and they are used to avoid repetition between multiple variants
  of the same format (argb/xrgb and maybe in the future for formats like
  bgr formats).

This new algorithm was tested with:
- kms_plane (for color conversions)
- kms_rotation_crc (for rotations of planes)
- kms_cursor_crc (for translations of planes)
- kms_rotation (for all rotations and formats combinations) [3]
The performance gain was mesured with kms_fb_stress [4] with some
modification to fix the writeback format.

The performance improvement is around 5 to 10%.
