Now that we've added support to i915 for controlling panel backlights that
need PWM to be enabled/disabled, let's finalize this and add support for
controlling brightness levels via PWM as well. This should hopefully put us
towards the path of supporting _ALL_ backlights via VESA's DPCD interface
which would allow us to finally start trusting the DPCD again.

Note that for the DRM helpers for this, we change some behavior by starting
to hide all backlights that require PWM controls by default, and require
that the driver pass our new DRM_EDP_BACKLIGHT_DRIVER_CAP_PWM flag to
drm_edp_backlight_supported(). The primary reason for doing this is that
panels requiring PWM in addition to DPCD controls will require additional
implementation on the driver's side, as there's no way for us to handle
PWM controls from the helpers in a driver-independent way.

Note however that we still don't enable using this by default when it's not
needed, primarily because I haven't yet had a chance to confirm if it's
safe to do this on the one machine in Intel's CI that had an issue with
this: samus-fi-bdw. I have done basic testing of this on other machines
though, by manually patching i915 to force it into PWM-only mode on some of
my laptops.
