xf86drmMode: add drmIsKMS
If a device has a primary node, it doesn't necessarily mean it's
suitable for KMS usage. For instance, render-only drivers also
expose primary nodes.
The check is extracted from Weston [1].
The motivation for this new function is two-fold:
- Avoid an unnecessary GETRESOURCES call. To check whether a
primary node is suitable for KMS, we don't actually need to
retrieve the object IDs we just need to check the counts.
- Avoid confusion in user-space and make sure user-space implements
the check properly. For instance, wlroots doesn't [2]: it uses
drmGetVersion which succeeds with render-only drivers.
