[platform-bus][aml-canvas] Add support for proxying SOC-specific protocols

This change adds support to the platform bus driver for proxying
SOC-specific protocols to platform devices without modifying the
platform bus source code. It also removes support for the Amlogic canvas
protocol from the platform bus driver and uses this new proxying support instead.

The Amlogic canvas driver is now split into two drivers:
the canvas implementation driver and the canvas proxy driver.
The implementation driver runs in the platform bus devhost and implements the main
functionality of the driver. The proxy driver runs in the devhosts of the
drivers that are clients of the canvas protocol and is responsible for proxying
the canvas protocol to the implementation driver.

To make this work we add a new protocol ZX_PROTOCOL_PLATFORM_PROXY
and add new support to ZX_PROTOCOL_PLATFORM_BUS.
In ZX_PROTOCOL_PLATFORM_BUS, the pbus_register_protocol() API now adds an
optional callback of type platform_proxy_cb_t. This callback handles
RPCs from a protocol proxy driver.

The new protocol ZX_PROTOCOL_PLATFORM_PROXY is used for protocol proxy drivers
to communicate with the platform bus in the client devhosts.
When the proxy driver loads, it calls platform_proxy_register_protocol()
to register its protocol implementation with the platform bus proxy driver.
When the client driver calls a protocol API implemented by the proxy driver,
the proxy driver calls platform_proxy_proxy() to proxy the protocol
to the implementation driver in the platform device devhost, via the channel
that connects the two devhosts.

Support for proxying the Amlogic canvas protocol is now removed from the
platform bus driver, since we are using this new mechanism instead.

Within the platform bus driver, we add a new class ProxyClient.
This is a subclass of ddk::Device that is used for binding the
protocol proxy drivers. In the case where a platform device relies on
SOC-specific protocols implemented using this new mechanism,
the platform bus proxy driver creates a PlatformProxyClient for each
of the protocols and waits for them all to register their protocols
via the ZX_PROTOCOL_PLATFORM_PROXY protocol before creating the
ProxyDevice object to bind the platform device driver.

Below illustrates the parts of the device tree is changed by this CL:

BEFORE:
[04:02:1] pid=1785 /boot/driver/platform-bus.so
<04:02:1> pid=2881 /boot/driver/platform-bus.proxy.so
[vim2-display] pid=2881 /boot/driver/vim-display.so
[display-controller] pid=2881 /boot/driver/display.so

AFTER:
[04:02:1] pid=1850 /boot/driver/platform-bus.so
<04:02:1> pid=3024 /boot/driver/platform-bus.proxy.so
[ProxyClient[7043414e]] pid=3024 /boot/driver/platform-bus.proxy.so
[aml-canvas-proxy] pid=3024 /boot/driver/aml-canvas.proxy.so
[ProxyDevice] pid=3024 /boot/driver/platform-bus.proxy.so
[vim2-display] pid=3024 /boot/driver/vim-display.so
[display-controller] pid=3024 /boot/driver/display.so

In the AFTER subtree, the platform proxy driver inserts a new root device that has
both the aml-canvas and vim2-display drivers as children.

[amlogic][canvas] Add canvas driver for AMLOGIC

- Added a canvas protocol
- Modified the VIM2 display driver to use the canvas
protocol instead of local canvas driver
- Removed local vim2 canvas driver
