Just move some files around to keep source code well organized. Plus
fix a type in the help text of CONFIG_DRM_FBDEV_LEAK_PHYS_SMEM. No
functional changes.

Add drm_client_lib.ko to contain DRM's built-in client. Move the
existing client for fbdev emulation into the new module. Protect the
new module behind CONFIG_DRM_CLIENT_LIB.
The Kconfig rules separate the DRM drivers from the DRM clients. A
driver can opt into the default clients, but the user configures
each client individually. To do so, DRM drivers still select
DRM_CLIENT_SELECTION. The option is now a tristate that further
selects all dependencies of the enabled DRM clients. There's
a menu option for each client. Enabling at least one client also
selects DRM_CLIENT_SETUP, so that drivers call drm_client_setup().
New DRM clients should depend on DRM_CLIENT_SELECTION.
There are existing kernel options in drm_fb_helper.o, so leave this
file in the KMS-helper module for now.
v5:
- leave fbdev helpers in drm_kms_helper.ko for now
v3:
- fix commit changelog
v2:
- keep client code in core
- protect lib with DRM_CLIENT_LIB
- remove duplicate line from Makefile (Jocelyn)

DRM may support multiple in-kernel clients that run as soon as a DRM
driver has been registered. To select the client(s) in a single place,
introduce drm_client_setup().
Drivers that call the new helper automatically instantiate the kernel's
configured default clients. Only fbdev emulation is currently supported.
Later versions can add support for DRM-based logging, a boot logo or even
a console.
Some drivers handle the color mode for clients internally. Provide the
helper drm_client_setup_with_color_mode() for them.
Using the new interface requires the driver to select
DRM_CLIENT_SELECTION in its Kconfig. For now this only enables the
client-setup helpers if the fbdev client has been configured by the
user. A future patchset will further modularize client support and
rework DRM_CLIENT_SELECTION to select the correct dependencies for
all its clients.
v5:
- add CONFIG_DRM_CLIENT_SELECTION und DRM_CLIENT_SETUP
v4:
- fix docs for drm_client_setup_with_fourcc() (Geert)
v3:
- fix build error
v2:
- add drm_client_setup_with_fourcc() (Laurent)
- push default-format handling into actual clients
