drm/modes: Allow to specify rotation and reflection on the commandline
Rotations and reflections setup are needed in some scenarios to initialise properly the initial framebuffer. Some drivers already had a bunch of quirks to deal with this, such as either a private kernel command line parameter (omapdss) or on the device tree (various panels). In order to accomodate this, let's create a video mode parameter to deal with the rotation and reflexion.

Specifying the option multiple times for different ports is possible, e.g.:
video=LVDS-1:d video=HDMI-1:D
+Options can also be passed after the mode, using commas as separator.

+ Sample usage: 720x480,rotate=180 - 720x480 mode, rotated by 180 degrees

+Valid options are:

+ - reflect_x (boolean): Perform an axial symmetry on the X axis
+ - reflect_y (boolean): Perform an axial symmetry on the Y axis
+ - rotate (integer): Rotate the initial framebuffer by x
+ degrees. Valid values are 0, 90, 180 and 270.
