Add a new general drm property "preferred color format" which can be used by
userspace to tell the graphic drivers to which color format to use.
Possible options are:
- auto (default/current behaviour)
- rgb
- ycbcr444
- ycbcr422 (not supported by both amdgpu and i915)
- ycbcr420
In theory the auto option should choose the best available option for the
current setup, but because of bad internal conversion some monitors look better
with rgb and some with ycbcr444.
Also, because of bad shielded connectors and/or cables, it might be preferable
to use the less bandwidth heavy ycbcr422 and ycbcr420 formats for a signal that
is less deceptible to interference.
In the future, automatic color calibration for screens might also depend on this
option being available.
