epoch_counter doesn't take all cases into consideration. For the
instance the connector list loop in output_poll_execute will be a no-op
if we try to simulate a hot-plug event with drm_sysfs. I suppose we
could've have used it for (real) HW hot-plug.

There's a few use-cases:

- 2 with real HW hot-plug - one for polling and one for HPD 
- 2 for with virtual connectors - one for VKMS and one for drm_sysfs

The bool helps to know -- in case you have multiple connectors -- which
of them had a hot-plug event.
