drm/prime: Update docs

Yes this is a bit a big patch, but since it's essentially a complete
rewrite of all the prime docs I didn't see how to better split it up.

Changes:
- Consistently point to drm_gem_object_funcs as the preferred hooks,
  where applicable.

- Document all the hooks in &drm_driver that lacked kerneldoc.

- Completely new overview section, which now also includes the cleaned
  up lifetime/reference counting subchapter. I also mentioned the weak
  references in there due to the lookup caches.

- Completely rewritten helper intro section, highlight the
  import/export related functionality.

- Polish for all the functions and more cross references.

I also sprinkled a bunch of todos all over.

Most important: 0 code changes in here. The cleanup motivated by
reading and improving all this will follow later on.

v2: Actually update the prime helper docs. Plus add a few FIXMEs that
I won't address right away in subsequent cleanup patches.

v3:
- Split out the function moving. This patch is now exclusively
  documentation changes.
- Typos and nits (Sam).

v4: Polish suggestions from Noralf.

created for the OPTIMUS range of multi-gpu platforms. To userspace PRIME
buffers are dma-buf based file descriptors.
Overview and Driver Interface
-----------------------------
Overview and Lifetime Rules
---------------------------
Similar to GEM global names, PRIME file descriptors are also used to
share buffer objects across processes. They offer additional security:
as file descriptors must be explicitly sent over UNIX domain sockets to
be shared between applications, they can't be guessed like the globally
unique GEM names.
Drivers that support the PRIME API must set the DRIVER_PRIME bit in the
struct :c:type:`struct drm_driver <drm_driver>`
driver_features field, and implement the prime_handle_to_fd and
prime_fd_to_handle operations.
int (\*prime_handle_to_fd)(struct drm_device \*dev, struct drm_file
\*file_priv, uint32_t handle, uint32_t flags, int \*prime_fd); int
(\*prime_fd_to_handle)(struct drm_device \*dev, struct drm_file
\*file_priv, int prime_fd, uint32_t \*handle); Those two operations
convert a handle to a PRIME file descriptor and vice versa. Drivers must
use the kernel dma-buf buffer sharing framework to manage the PRIME file
descriptors. Similar to the mode setting API PRIME is agnostic to the
underlying buffer object manager, as long as handles are 32bit unsigned
integers.
While non-GEM drivers must implement the operations themselves, GEM
drivers must use the :c:func:`drm_gem_prime_handle_to_fd()` and
:c:func:`drm_gem_prime_fd_to_handle()` helper functions. Those
helpers rely on the driver gem_prime_export and gem_prime_import
operations to create a dma-buf instance from a GEM object (dma-buf
exporter role) and to create a GEM object from a dma-buf instance
(dma-buf importer role).
struct dma_buf \* (\*gem_prime_export)(struct drm_device \*dev,
struct drm_gem_object \*obj, int flags); struct drm_gem_object \*
(\*gem_prime_import)(struct drm_device \*dev, struct dma_buf
\*dma_buf); These two operations are mandatory for GEM drivers that
support PRIME.
