drm/mipi-dsi: Introduce mipi_dsi_*_write_seq_multi()


The current mipi_dsi_*_write_seq() macros are non-intutitive because
they contain a hidden "return" statement that will return out of the
_caller_ of the macro. Let's mark them as deprecated and instead
introduce some new macros that are more intuitive.

These new macros are less optimal when an error occurs but should
behave more optimally when there is no error. Specifically these new
macros cause smaller code to get generated and the code size savings
(less to fetch from RAM, less cache space used, less RAM used) are
important. Since the error case isn't something we need to optimize
for and these new macros are easier to understand and more flexible,
they should be used.

After converting to use these new functions, one example shows some
nice savings while also being easier to understand.
