drm_hwcomposer: Add property for config groups

Android framework will change between configs in the same config group
dynamically, to support the Multiple refresh rate [1] feature. If the
display driver does not support changing modes seamlessly, there will be
visible artifacts (blank screen) when changing refresh rates.

Add a property to disable config grouping on devices that do not support
seamless mode changes. Set the default value to enable config grouping.
