mode: Retrieve only the current information for a Connector
Add a new API that allows the caller to skip any forced probing, which may require slow i2c to a remote display, and only report the currently active mode and encoder for a Connector. This is often the information of interest and is much, much faster than re-retrieving the link status and EDIDs, e.g. if the caller only wishes to count the number of active outputs. v2: Fix error path to avoid double free after a failed GETCONNECTOR ioctl. v3: Daniel strongly disapproved of my disjoint in behaviour between GetConnector and GetConnectorCurrent, and considering how best to make a drop in replacement for drmmode_output_init() convinced me keeping the API as consistent as possible was the right approach. v4: Avoid probing on the second calls to GETCONNECTOR for unconnected outputs.
