Revert removal of automatic drm reset on VT switch
...on the basis that it reduces user-space breakage with respect to layer-shell clients disappearing on suspend/resume and on VT change. Revert the following two commits: -1edd5e2"backend/drm: Remove reset from interface" -0f255b4"backend/drm: Remove automatic reset on VT switch" This it not intended to be reverted on the `master` branch. Instead, the next wlroots release is anticipated to handle the situation differently, possibly by splitting some objects and leaving output-related wl_globals which have been announced to clients. See discussions on [issue-3944]. [issue-3944]: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/issues/3944#note_3030632 Background: With [MR-4878] on wlroots-0.19.0, the DRM backend destroys/recreates outputs on VT switch and in some cases on suspend/resume too. The reason for this change was that (i) the KMS state is undefined when a VT is switched away; and (ii) the previous outputs had issues with restoration, particularly when the output configuration had changed whilst switched away. This change causes two issues for users: - Some layer-shell clients do not re-appear on output re-connection, or may appear on a different output. Whilst this has always been the case, it will now also happen in said situations. It is technically possible for layer-shell clients to deal with this more thoughtfully by handling the new-output and surface-destroy signals to achieve desired behaviours, but such changes take time and meanwhile Desktop Environment teams and other users consider this a serious regression. - Some Gtk clients issue critical warnings on some compositors as they assume that at least one output is always available. This will be fixed in `Gtk-3.24.50` and is believed to be a harmless warning, [MR-4878]: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/merge_requests/4878 Testing: 1. This reversion has been tested with [conky] and [GlassyClock]. With the reversion applied, the clients remain visible after VT switching. 2. It was also tested with labwc on tty1; and sway on tty2. No adverse affects were observed when changing output scales on either compositor. [conky]: https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky [GlassyClock]: https://github.com/tsujan/GlassyClock
