Introduce vGPU specific irq type VFIO_IRQ_TYPE_GFX, and
VFIO_IRQ_SUBTYPE_GFX_DISPLAY_IRQ as the subtype for vGPU display.

Introduce vfio_irq_info_cap_display_plane_events capability to notify
user space with the vGPU's plane update events

v3:
- Add more description to VFIO_IRQ_SUBTYPE_GFX_DISPLAY_IRQ and
VFIO_IRQ_INFO_CAP_DISPLAY. (Alex & Gerd)

v2:
- Add VFIO_IRQ_SUBTYPE_GFX_DISPLAY_IRQ description. (Alex & Kechen)
- Introduce vfio_irq_info_cap_display_plane_events. (Gerd & Alex)
