Alexander Kanavin 2493f505e5 weston-init: use the drm/kms backend rather than fbdev one for qemux86 machines
The fbdev backend is not documented, and not the default;
as the emulated hardware in qemu now supports DRM/KMS
(both std and virtio), we should align with upstream default
and vast majority of users. Empty init file will cause
weston to default to the KMS backend.

Note that 3D acceleration via virgl is not required; the backend
renders fine via the software driver in mesa. However, kvm
is more or less required to keep the UI responsive.

Also, other qemu targets (mips and arm in particular) continue
to use the fbdev backend, as in the absence of kvm, the performance
of software GL paths falls to unacceptable level.

QEMU Emulation Targets
======================

To simplify development, the build system supports building images to
work with the QEMU emulator in system emulation mode. Several architectures
are currently supported in 32 and 64 bit variants:

  * ARM (qemuarm + qemuarm64)
  * x86 (qemux86 + qemux86-64)
  * PowerPC (qemuppc only)
  * MIPS (qemumips + qemumips64)

Use of the QEMU images is covered in the Yocto Project Reference Manual.
The appropriate MACHINE variable value corresponding to the target is given
in brackets.
