drm/syncobj: add IOCTL to register an eventfd

Introduce a new DRM_IOCTL_SYNCOBJ_EVENTFD IOCTL which signals an
eventfd from a syncobj.

This is useful for Wayland compositors to handle wait-before-submit.
Wayland clients can send a timeline point to the compositor
before the point has materialized yet, then compositors can wait
for the point to materialize via this new IOCTL.

The existing DRM_IOCTL_SYNCOBJ_TIMELINE_WAIT IOCTL is not suitable
because it blocks. Compositors want to integrate the wait with
their poll(2)-based event loop.

Requirements for new uAPI:

- User-space patch: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/4262
- IGT: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/igt-dev/2023-July/057893.html

v2:
- Wait for fence when flags is zero
- Improve documentation (Pekka)
- Rename IOCTL (Christian)
- Fix typo in drm_syncobj_add_eventfd() (Christian)

v3:
- Link user-space + IGT patches
- Add reference from overview docs

v4: fix IOCTL number conflict with GETFB2 (Nicholas Choi, Vitaly Prosyak)
