Simon Ser b8644c4ae2 drm/doc: document DRM_IOCTL_MODE_CREATE_DUMB ...

The main motivation is to repeat that dumb buffers should not be
abused for anything else than basic software rendering with KMS.
User-space devs are more likely to look at the IOCTL docs than to
actively search for the driver-oriented "Dumb Buffer Objects"
section.

v2: reference DRM_CAP_DUMB_BUFFER, DRM_CAP_DUMB_PREFERRED_DEPTH and
DRM_CAP_DUMB_PREFER_SHADOW (Pekka)
