Turn on the switch and use virtual planes by default, enhancing

This is being sent as an RFT for now. Please give it a test with your
compositor of choice. X11. Weston. Sway. Wlroot. CrOS. I plan to turn
the switch for 7.1

Tested-by: Val Packett <val@xxxxxxxxxxxx> # x1e80100-dell-latitude-7455, with niri

Running with this for a few days, seems like no change, everything works as before. Any way to confirm virtual planes are being used?
