drm/doc: Add a few words on validation with IGT

Also provide some pointers for building IGT as some kernel hackers might
not be that familiar with building stuff on Linux distros.

Validating changes with IGT
===========================
There's a collection of tests that aims to cover the whole functionality of
DRM drivers and that can be used to check that changes to DRM drivers or the
core don't regress existing functionality. This test suite is called IGT and
its code can be found in https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools/.
To build IGT, start by installing its build dependencies. In Debian-based
systems::
# apt-get build-dep intel-gpu-tools
And in Fedora-based systems::
# dnf builddep intel-gpu-tools
Then clone the repository::
$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/drm/igt-gpu-tools
Configure the build system and start the build::
$ cd igt-gpu-tools && ./autogen.sh && make -j6
Download the piglit dependency::
$ ./scripts/run-tests.sh -d
And run the tests::
$ ./scripts/run-tests.sh -t kms -t core -s
run-tests.sh is a wrapper around piglit that will execute the tests matching
the -t options. A report in HTML format will be available in
./results/html/index.html. Results can be compared with piglit.
