Convert the driver to use the DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR flag when
attaching bridges. This modernizes the driver by delegating connector
creation to the bridge subsystem through drm_bridge_connector_init()
instead of manually searching for connectors created by the bridge.

The custom tilcdc_encoder_find_connector() function is removed and
replaced with the standard drm_bridge_connector infrastructure, which
simplifies the code and aligns with current DRM bridge best practices.

This change is safe as there are now no in-tree devicetrees that
connect tilcdc to bridges which do not support the
DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR flag.

It looks more logical to put DRM_DISPLAY_HELPER just before
DRM_BRIDGE_CONNECTOR.

Other than that this patch is de facto the same as v2 which I had already
reviewed, so:
