Currently in intel_dp_mode_valid(), we compute the number of joined pipes
required before deciding whether DSC is needed. This ordering prevents us
from accounting for DSC-related overhead when determining pipe
requirements.

It is not possible to first decide whether DSC is needed and then compute
the required number of joined pipes, because the two depend on each other:

 - DSC need is a function of the pipe count (e.g., 4‑pipe always requires
   DSC; 2‑pipe may require it if uncompressed joiner is unavailable).

 - Whether a given pipe‑join configuration is sufficient depends on
   effective bandwidth, which itself changes when DSC is used.

As a result, the only correct approach is to iterate candidate pipe counts.

So, refactor the logic to start with a single pipe and incrementally try
additional pipes only if needed. While DSC overhead is not yet computed
here, this restructuring prepares the code to support that in a follow-up
changes.

Additionally, if a forced joiner configuration is present, we first check
whether it satisfies the bandwidth and timing constraints. If it does not,
we fall back to evaluating configurations with 1, 2, or 4 pipes joined
and prune or keep the mode accordingly.

v2:
 - Iterate over number of pipes to be joined instead of joiner
   candidates. (Jani)
 - Document the rationale of iterating over number of joined pipes.
