Once we are DRM master, the CRTC cannot be changed behind our back
except during a VT switch.
After a VT switch, we try to restore whatever KMS state we had last
programmed. Reloading the current CRTC from KMS breaks this and
can result in a modeset without a FB.

The drm_connector_commit_state() call in handle_session_active()
was not resulting in any atomic commit, because it didn't match any
of the if branches: active = true, no new buffer was committed,
and adaptive sync/gamma LUT were unchanged. Thus the commit was a
no-op.
Later on, when the compositor performs regular page-flips, the
kernel would return EINVAL indicating that a modeset was needed.
Rework the logic to use a non-blocking page-flip commit if a buffer
was committed, and use a blocking commit if the connector is on or
is being disabled. The only case where we should skip the atomic
commit is when disabling (active = false) an already-disabled
connector (conn->crtc == NULL).
Note, 6936e163b5 ("backend/drm: short-circuit no-op commits")
has introduced early returns for other situations where we don't
need to perform an atomic commit (e.g. updating scale or transform
of an output).

Extract the logic to fetch the current mode to a separate function
to make it more readable. Stop dying in an assert when
get_drm_prop_blob() fails. Always make it so the drmModeModeInfo
pointer is allocated so that we can free() it unconditionally.
We already have disconnect_drm_connector() to handle the
CONNECTED → DISCONNECTED transition. Let's add
connect_drm_connector() to handle DISCONNECTED → CONNECTED. This
makes scan_drm_connectors() shorter and easier to follow.
No functional change, literally just moving code around.
We were using the legacy API (with a detour through drmModeEncoder)
to find out the current CRTC for a connector. Use the atomic API
when available.
Also extract the whole logic into a separate function for better
readability, and better handle errors.
If a new buffer is set for a buffer node, we must update the entire
node unconditionally if the buffer size changes, or the buffer is given
a buffer where it was previously NULL.
While we're here, let's avoid calling scene_node_update on just damage
updates. If the caller hasn't given us a damage region we just assume
the whole buffer.
If the area calculations for output overlap overflow a signed int, we
may not consider it to be a primary output. Turn this into an unsigned
type so this happens less frequently.
Additionally, it is possible the overflow would produce 0, we can handle
this by simply changing the comparison to more than or equal.
While we're here, let's assert that we always assign a primary output
if there are any intersecting outputs.
Instead of special-casing modesets, we can just cut the wrapper
and directly call drm_crtc_page_flip(). drm_connector_test() should
already have the checks previously done in drm_connector_set_mode(),
all we need to do is update enabled/mode after a successful atomic
commit.
We were crashing in the error codepath [1] when
wlr_drm_create_lease() fails.
To fix this, delay the creation of the wlr_drm_lease_v1 until the
request is granted. Previously we were allocating that struct early
without populating the drm_lease field. However that means we ended
up with a half-constructed struct in the error codepath which is
annoying to handle.

On first commit, require a new buffer if the compositor called a
mode-setting function, even if the mode won't change. This makes it
so the swapchain is created now.
Stop trying to check whether the backend supports buffer-less modesets
because that makes everything more complicated. For instance, the
DRM backend doesn't need a new buffer if the previous DRM master left
the output enabled.

Some compositors want to have full control over the buffers attached
to the output, and don't want to use the internal swapchain. Such
compositors include KWinFT (allocates its buffers on its own) and
gamescope (uses a headless output without any buffers).
Let's just make output_ensure_buffer() a no-op in that case.
This field becomes stale too easily: for instance, see 6adca4089c
("backend/drm: don't unconditionally set desired_enabled").
Additionally, drm_connector_alloc_crtc() needs to do some weird
dance, restoring its previous value.
Instead, add a connector arg to realloc_crtcs() to indicate a new
connector we want to enable.
We were unconditonally setting desired_enabled = true for all
connected connectors. This makes realloc_crtcs() always keep a CRTC
active for these, even if the user doesn't want to enable them.
