Add support for DRM native contexts to VirtIO-GPU. DRM context is enabled
using a new virtio-gpu-gl device option "drm=on".
Unlike Virgl and Venus contexts that operate on application API level,
DRM native contexts work on a kernel UAPI level. This lower level results
in a lightweight context implementations that yield better performance.

The VIRGL_VERSION_MAJOR is defined only when virtio-gpu is built with
enabled virgl support. It's necessary to have the ifdef, otherwise
you'll get a build failure when compiling QEMU with disabled virgl support.
