drm: Specify a bit more the DRM_CAP_CURSOR_{WIDTH, HEIGHT} caps
Earlier this week, there was a bit of confusion about those new
capabilities, to the point I think it's better to document the intention
and API contract.
The comment documents the current situation:
- the radeon driver returns the only valid size for the hw
- i915 returns the maximun cursor size
- other drivers fall back to returning 64x64
The common contract is to return a valid cursor size.
