Daniel Vetter 0d42204f37 drm/doc: Document uapi requirements in DRM
Everyone knows them, except all the new folks joining from the ARM
side haven't lived through all the pain of the past years and are
entirely surprised when I raise this. Definitely time to document
this.

Last time this was a big discussion was about 6 years ago, when qcom
tried to land a kernel driver without userspace. Dave Airlie made the
rules really clear:

This write-up here is essentially what I've put into a presentation a
while ago, which was also reviewed by Dave:

v2: Fix typos Eric&Rob spotted.

v3: Nitpick from Jani.
