08dbd29e33 gitlab-ci: compile Linux image with support to VGEM
Add VGEM to the Linux image that runs in the CI. There are tests that we
plan to add in the future that need this.

This brings a complication, as we already have VKMS in the image. The
order in which DRM devices are loaded is not always the same, so the
node they receive is non-deterministic. Until now we were sure that VKMS
(the virtual device we use to run the DRM-backend tests in the CI) would
be in "/dev/dri/card0", but now we can't be sure. To deal with this
problem we find the node of each device using a one-liner shell script.

This commit also updates the documentation section that describes
specificities of DRM-backend tests in our test suite.

e8a8c13e0d tests: add support to run drm-backend tests locally
With this patch we add support to run DRM-backend tests locally
in the test suite. For now this won't work in the CI, as there
are no cards available. But the plan is to achieve this by using
VKMS (virtual KMS) in the future.

To run DRM-backend tests locally, first of all the user has to
set the environment variable WESTON_TEST_SUITE_DRM_DEVICE to
'card0', 'card1' or any other device where he wants to run
the tests. Also, for now it only works if it is run as root,
but in the future this problem will be solved.

The tests will run on a non-default seat. The reason for that
is that we want to avoid opening input devices unnecessarily.
Also, since DRM-backend usage requires gaining DRM master status
on a DRM KMS device, nothing else must be using the device at
the same time. To achieve this we use a lock to run the
DRM-backend tests sequentially.

This should lower the barrier to entry for writing more tests.
