Daniel Golle e829091f34 video-support: add a package for display device handling
The display target feature gates every DRM module, but it says nothing
useful: it is set on ten targets, so a mediatek/mt7623 board can have a
display while a filogic board with a MIPI DBI panel cannot, and rockchip
claims it for a NanoPi R2S as much as for a Rock 5B. Whether a board
drives a panel is a per-device choice, not a property of the SoC family.
The DRM and V4L2 nodes also end up 0600 root:root, so a display server
runs as root or not at all.

Add a video-support package which allocates the video and video-capture
groups and installs the hotplug rules for the DRM and V4L2 nodes, and
make the modules depend on it. The dependency is a plain one, not a
select, so the modules are offered once the feature is chosen. Targets
whose display drivers are built into the kernel carry the package in
DEFAULT_PACKAGES, since no module pulls it in for them, and the one
device profile that ships a DRM module on another target lists it
directly. DISPLAY_SUPPORT stays for now, so this changes no existing
selection.
