[PATCH i-g-t] tests/unigraf_lt: Optimize DP lane count validations

Some drivers dynamically optimize power by downshifting lane utilization
if the current video mode (e.g., 1080p) has low bandwidth requirements,
regardless of the physical ceiling.

To avoid pointlessly testing artificially high lane mock ceilings
that would result in false-negative failures, we introduce a pre-check
in the lane count subtest. We safely pre-calculate the kernel's natural
max lane utilization for the current mode through an unconstrained HPD
sequence, allowing us to skip unachievable configurations.
