For consistency with other reference counting APIs in the kernel, add
drm_property_blob_get() and drm_property_blob_put() to reference count
DRM blob properties.
Compatibility aliases are added to keep existing code working. To help
speed up the transition, all the instances of the old functions in the
DRM core are already replaced in this commit.
A semantic patch is provided that can be used to convert all drivers to
the new helpers.

I just learned that &struct_name.member_name works and looks pretty
even. It doesn't (yet) link to the member directly though, which would
be really good for big structures or vfunc tables (where the
per-member kerneldoc tends to be long).
Also some minor drive-by polish where it makes sense, I read a lot
of docs ...

- remove kerneldoc for drm-internal functions
- drm_property_replace_global_blob isn't actually atomic, and doesn't
need to be. Update docs&comments to match
- document all the types and try to link things a bit better
- nits all over

This just contains the base property classes and all the code to
handle blobs. I think for any kind of standardized/shared properties
it's better to have separate files - this is fairly big already as-is.
