drm/amd/display: Use DAC load detection on analog connectors (v2)

This feature is useful for analog connections without EDID:
- Really old monitors with a VGA connector
- Cheap DVI/VGA adapters that don't connect DDC pins

When a connection is established through DAC load detection,
the driver is supposed to fill in the supported modes for the
display, which we already do in amdgpu_dm_connector_get_modes.

Also, because the load detection causes visible glitches, do not
attempt to poll the connector again after it was detected this
way. Note that it will still be polled after sleep/resume or
when force is enabled, which is okay.

v2:
Add dc_connection_dac_load connection type.
Properly release sink when no display is connected.
Don't print error when EDID isn't read from an analog display.
