Add a new immutable plane property by which a plane can advertise
a handful of recommended plane sizes. This would be mostly exposed
by cursor planes as a slightly more capable replacement for
the DRM_CAP_CURSOR_WIDTH/HEIGHT caps, which can only declare
a one size fits all limit for the whole device.
Currently eg. amdgpu/i915/nouveau just advertize the max cursor
size via the cursor size caps. But always using the max sized
cursor can waste a surprising amount of power, so a better
stragey is desirable.
Most other drivers don't specify any cursor size at all, in
which case the ioctl code just claims that 64x64 is a great
choice. Whether that is actually true is debatable.
A poll of various compositor developers informs us that
blindly probing with setcursor/atomic ioctl to determine
suitable cursor sizes is not acceptable, thus the
introduction of the new property to supplant the cursor
size caps. The compositor will now be free to select a
more optimal cursor size from the short list of options.
Note that the reported sizes (either via the property or the
caps) make no claims about things such as plane scaling. So
these things should only really be consulted for simple
"cursor like" use cases.

This would be great to have. amdgpu could take advantage of it as
well. I didn't have a thorough look at the details of this
implementation but like what it does, so this is
