drm/bridge: add devm_drm_bridge_alloc()

Add a macro to allocate and initialize a DRM bridge embedded within a
private driver struct.

Compared to current practice, which is based on [devm_]kzalloc() allocation
followed by open-coded initialization of fields, this allows to have a
common and explicit API to allocate and initialize DRM bridges.

Besides being useful to consolidate bridge driver code, this is a
fundamental step in preparation for adding dynamic lifetime to bridges
based on refcount.
