drm/drm_connector: Document Colorspace property variants

The initial idea of the Colorspace prop was that this maps 1:1 to
InfoFrames/SDP but KMS does not give user space enough information nor
control over the output format to figure out which variants can be used
for a given KMS commit. At the same time, properties like Broadcast RGB
expect full range quantization range being produced by user space from
the CRTC and drivers to convert to the range expected by the sink for
the chosen output format, mode, InfoFrames, etc.

This change documents the reality of the Colorspace property. The
Default variant unfortunately is very much driver specific and not
reflected by the EDID. The BT2020 variants are in active use by generic
compositors which have expectations from the driver about the
conversions it has to do when selecting certain output formats.

Everything else is also marked as undefined. Coming up with valid
behavior that makes it usable from user space and consistent with other
KMS properties for those variants is left as an exercise for whoever
wants to use them.

v2:
 * Talk about "pixel operation properties" that user space configures
 * Mention that user space is responsible for checking the EDID for sink
   support
 * Make it clear that drivers can choose between RGB and YCbCr on their
   own
