Not all of the overview DOC: comments in the display driver are
incorporated into the documentation. Add the missing ones, including
some function documentation.

Documentation/gpu: use === for Intel display section heading underlines2026-05-11T07:30:13+00:00Jani Nikulajani.nikula@intel.com2026-05-08T10:20:48+00:00urn:sha1:bd30515d208fb0d03befa647497243c55b1c11a8
Prefer to use === instead of --- for top level section heading
underlines to allow using the latter for sub-headings later.
While at it, fix the underline lenghts where needed.

Documentation/gpu: add dedicated documentation for Intel display2026-05-11T07:30:13+00:00Jani Nikulajani.nikula@intel.com2026-05-08T10:20:47+00:00urn:sha1:931744602993be96385ed1b9deb40d5675306d28
Nowadays, the display support for drm/i915 and drm/xe is shared between
the drivers, even though the code is located under drm/i915/display.
The drm/i915 documentation has everything, including display topics, in
one huge page, while the drm/xe documentation is well-organized but
hardly mentions display. It's not great, to put it mildly.
Split out the Intel display documentation to a dedicated directory,
Documentation/gpu/intel-display. Also directly split the
functionality/feature documentation to dedicated pages to keep the main
index page high level and readable. We'll want to organize this further,
but just sort them alphabetically for starters.
Drop the boilerplate documentation sections that don't actually document
anything.
Cross-reference drm/i915, drm/xe, and intel-display.
