   **only Linux, FreeBSD, DragonFly:** Creates a texture from DMA-BUF metadata.

   Exchanging DMA-BUFs is a verbose process because of its multiplanar nature.
   For example, YUV can have each plane as a color channel, or a monitor buffer
   can have the cursor stored in a separate plane.

   This function treats the OBS Studio format and the DRM format separately.
   This allows creating textures from DMA-BUFs with unsupported formats (e.g.
   YUV) and perform the color format conversion using shaders. However, be
   careful to always try and match the formats correctly, otherwise textures
   can fail to be created or rendered.

   All modifiers passed in the modifiers array must be equal. Passing different
   modifiers for each plane is unsupported.

   :param width:        Width of the texture
   :param height:       Height of the texture

   formats.
