drm/vmwgfx: Add an option to change assumed FB bpp

Browse source

commit 04319d89fb upstream.

Offer an option for advanced users who want larger modes at 16bpp.

This becomes necessary after the fix: "Work around mode set
failure in 2D VMs."  Without this patch, there would be no way
for existing advanced users to get to a high res mode, and the
regression is they will likely get a black screen after a software
update on their current VM.
