docs: Simplify now that kmsro is autoenabled 

Since 70813c1c13 ("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.

is able to share buffers with the GPU. In Mesa, this is handled by
enabling the ``kmsro`` driver in addition to Lima.

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
controllers commonly paired with Mali GPUs. If your board with a Panfrost
supported GPU has a display controller with mainline Linux support not
supported by kmsro, it's easy to add support, see the commit
``cff7de4bb597e9`` as an example.

LLVM is *not* required by Panfrost's compilers. LLVM support in Mesa can
safely be disabled for most OpenGL ES users with Panfrost.
