docs: Simplify now that kmsro is autoenabled
Since 70813c1c13b ("meson: Remove kmsro from gallium-drivers"), it is no
longer necessary to include kmsro in the gallium-drivers list; kmsro
will be automatically enabled if it may be required. Simplify the docs
for lima and panfrost accordingly to reflect the change.

Building

-Panfrost's OpenGL support is a Gallium driver. Since Mali GPUs are
-3D-only and do not include a display controller, Mesa must be
-additionally built with kmsro support which supports a number of display

LLVM is *not* required by Panfrost's compilers. LLVM support in Mesa can
safely be disabled for most OpenGL ES users with Panfrost.
Build with meson like ``meson . build/ -Ddri-drivers= -Dvulkan-drivers=
--Dgallium-drivers=panfrost,kmsro -Dllvm=false`` for a build directory
+-Dgallium-drivers=panfrost -Dllvm=false`` for a build directory
``build``.
Building for Android via the legacy ``Android.mk`` system is not officially
