drm/uapi: Add a warning that mode flags must match the xrandr definitions
Existing userspace expected the mode flags to match the xrandr
definitions 1:1, and even adding new flags in he previously unused
bits is likely to break existing userspace. Add a comment warning
people about this potential trap.
