drm: Clarify semantics of struct drm_mode_config.{min, max}_{width, height}
Add additional information on the semantics of the size fields in
struct drm_mode_config. Also add a TODO to review all driver for
correct usage of these fields.

+Review all drivers for setting struct drm_mode_config.{max_width,max_height} correctly
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The values in struct drm_mode_config.{max_width,max_height} describe the
+maximum supported framebuffer size. It's the virtual screen size, but many
+drivers treat it like limitations of the physical resolution.
+
+The maximum width depends on the hardware's maximum scanline pitch. The
+maximum height depends on the amount of addressable video memory. Review all
+drivers to initialize the fields to the correct values.
