drm/modes: Introduce more named modes

Now that we can easily extend the named modes list, let's add a few more
analog TV modes that were used in the wild, and some unit tests to make
sure it works as intended.

drm/modes: Introduce the tv_mode property as a command-line option

Our new tv mode option allows to specify the TV mode from a property.
However, it can still be useful, for example to avoid any boot time
artifact, to set that property directly from the kernel command line.

Let's add some code to allow it, and some unit tests to exercise that code.

docs/fb: Document current named modes

KMS supports a number of named modes already, but it's never been
documented anywhere, let's fix that.

drm/modes: parse_cmdline: Add support for specifying panel_orientation (v2)

Sometimes we want to override a connector's panel_orientation from the
kernel commandline. Either for testing and for special cases, e.g. a kiosk
like setup which uses a TV mounted in portrait mode.

Users can already specify a "rotate" option through a video= kernel cmdline
option. But that only supports 0/180 degrees (see drm_client_modeset TODO)
and only works for in kernel modeset clients, not for userspace kms users.

The "panel-orientation" connector property OTOH does support 90/270 degrees
as it leaves dealing with the rotation up to userspace and this does work
for userspace kms clients (at least those which support this property).

Changes in v2:
-Add missing ':' after @panel_orientation (reported by kbuild test robot)

docs: fb: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

The conversion is actually:
- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;
- add some lists markups;
- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

Also, removed the Maintained by, as requested by Geert.
