For consistency with other reference counting APIs in the kernel, add
drm_mode_object_get() and drm_mode_object_put() to reference count DRM
mode objects.
Compatibility aliases are added to keep existing code working. To help
speed up the transition, all the instances of the old functions in the
DRM core are already replaced in this commit.
A semantic patch is provided that can be used to convert all drivers to
the new helpers.

I just learned that &struct_name.member_name works and looks pretty
even. It doesn't (yet) link to the member directly though, which would
be really good for big structures or vfunc tables (where the
per-member kerneldoc tends to be long).
Also some minor drive-by polish where it makes sense, I read a lot
of docs ...

I figured an overview section here is overkill, and better
to just document the 2 structures themselves well enough.
v2: Review from Archit:
- Appease checkpatch in moved code.
- Spelling fixes in the kerneldoc.

Just for the struct drm_mode_object base class. The header file was
already partially extracted to help untangle the include loops.
v2:
- Also move the generic get/set property ioctls. At first this seemed
like a bad idea since it requires making drm_mode_crtc_set_obj_prop
non-static. But eventually that will get split away too (like
the connector version already is) for both crtc and planes. Hence I
reconsidered.
- drm_mode_object.[hc] instead of drm_modeset.[hc], which requires
renaming the drm_modeset.h header I already started building up.
This is more consistent (matches the name of the main structure),
and I want to be able to use drm_modeset.[hc] for the basic modeset
init/cleanup functionality like drm_mode_config_init.
