Revert "drm/i915/backlight: Remove try_vesa_interface"

This reverts commit 40d2f5820951dee818d05c14677277048bd85f9f.

Removing the try_vesa_interface gate caused a backlight regression on
panels whose VBT correctly reports INTEL_BACKLIGHT_DISPLAY_DDI and whose
PWM path is the actual backlight control, but whose DPCD optimistically
advertises DP_EDP_BACKLIGHT_AUX_ENABLE_CAP / _BRIGHTNESS_AUX_SET_CAP.
After the commit such panels silently bind to the VESA AUX backlight
funcs; AUX writes complete but the panel ignores them, leaving
brightness stuck (no-op backlight). Observed on at least KBL and TGL
eDP setups.
