vga_switcheroo: Document _ALL_ the things!

This adds an "Overview" DOC section plus two DOC sections for the modes
of use ("Manual switching and manual power control" and "Driver power
control").

Also included is kernel-doc for all public functions, structs and enums.

+/**
+ * DOC: Overview
+ *
+ * vga_switcheroo is the Linux subsystem for laptop hybrid graphics.
+ * These come in two flavors:
+ *
+ * * muxed: Dual GPUs with a multiplexer chip to switch outputs between GPUs.
+ * * muxless: Dual GPUs but only one of them is connected to outputs.
+ *      The other one is merely used to offload rendering, its results
+ *      are copied over PCIe into the framebuffer. On Linux this is
+ *      supported with DRI PRIME.
+ *
+ * Hybrid graphics started to appear in the late Naughties and were initially
+ * all muxed. Newer laptops moved to a muxless architecture for cost reasons.
+ * A notable exception is the MacBook Pro which continues to use a mux.
+ * Muxes come with varying capabilities: Some switch only the panel, others
+ * can also switch external displays. Some switch all display pins at once
+ * while others can switch just the DDC lines. (To allow EDID probing
+ * for the inactive GPU.) Also, muxes are often used to cut power to the
+ * discrete GPU while it is not used.
+ *
+ * DRM drivers register GPUs with vga_switcheroo, these are heretoforth called
+ * clients. The mux is called the handler. Muxless machines also register a
+ * handler to control the power state of the discrete GPU, its ->switchto
+ * callback is a no-op for obvious reasons. The discrete GPU is often equipped
+ * with an HDA controller for the HDMI/DP audio signal, this will also
+ * register as a client so that vga_switcheroo can take care of the correct
+ * suspend/resume order when changing the discrete GPU's power state. In total
+ * there can thus be up to three clients: Two vga clients (GPUs) and one audio
+ * client (on the discrete GPU). The code is mostly prepared to support
+ * machines with more than two GPUs should they become available.
+ * The GPU to which the outputs are currently switched is called the
+ * active client in vga_switcheroo parlance. The GPU not in use is the
+ * inactive client.
