Add a new general drm property "active color format" which can be used by
graphic drivers to report the used color format back to userspace.
There was no way to check which color format got actually used on a given
monitor. To surely predict this, one must know the exact capabilities of
the monitor, the GPU, and the connection used and what the default
behaviour of the used driver is (e.g. amdgpu prefers YCbCr 4:4:4 while i915
prefers RGB). This property helps eliminating the guessing on this point.
In the future, automatic color calibration for screens might also depend on
this information being available.
