Exactly this.

This communicates properly that DRM_FOURCC_STANDALONE only affects
whether drm.h gets pulled in or not, and there are no other effects.

This also makes testing better: when you unconditionally include
drm_basic_types.h, you are more likely to catch breakage there.

For functionality, it makes no difference. Whether userspace does

#include "drm.h"
#define DRM_FOURCC_STANDALONE
#include "drm_fourcc.h"

or

#define DRM_FOURCC_STANDALONE
#include "drm_fourcc.h"
#include "drm.h"

the result must always be good.
