Document how to build and use Panfrost's drm-shim implementation. I hope by
documenting this process, other Mesa developers are better able to test
Panfrost. In particular, this allows developers without Mali hardware to run
shader-db for any Mali target, which may be useful for debugging regressions
from common NIR changes.
drm-shim is not a substitute for testing against real hardware.
Special thanks to Emma Anholt and Icecream95 for building this infrastructure.

The optimized routine documented the tiling format together with the software
algorithm. The reference implementation wants the tiling format alone
documented. Let's break out the high level documentation into somewhere
centrally accessible, and refocus the comments in the optimized file on the
optimization.
This documentation is linked bidirectionally with both implementations, so it
should be easy to find.

Android.mk was removed, so remove a reference to it from Panfrost
documentation. We should document building for Android, but it'll be
through meson. This note as-is adds more confusion than note.

meson complains that =false is deprecated and that we should use
=disabled instead.

Panfrost has already moved their IRC-channel to OFTC, so let's update
the docs as well.

Since 70813c1c13 ("meson: Remove kmsro from gallium-drivers"), it is no
longer necessary to include kmsro in the gallium-drivers list; kmsro
will be automatically enabled if it may be required. Simplify the docs
for lima and panfrost accordingly to reflect the change.

Pretty similar to anything else in Mesa, although kmsro is required and
LLVM is not.

List the supported hardware with some remarks. This page should grow in
the future.
