Make Wayland sessions work with fbdev

Bug description:
Make Wayland sessions work with fbdev. For when KMS/DRM support is
missing in the kernel but the device still has legacy graphics.
Currently Xorg already does this with a custom driver that allows it
to fall back to using fbdev. We could do the same with mutter but it's
unlikely to be accepted by upstream since Fedora opted to solve it by
just enabling SimpleDRM in the kernel:

This started out being a personal goal for me but will also be a
business requirement in future to not ship Xorg. So we need to give
mutter some way of using fbdev graphics.
