drm: simple_kms_helper: make connector optional at init time

drm_simple_display_pipe_init() pretends to attach a connector
to the display pipe.

In case a drm bridge has to be used, then it's the bridge that
takes care of connectors.

This patch makes the connector parameter optional for
drm_simple_display_pipe_init(), so that a drm bridge could
handle connector by itself later.
