thunderbolt: Use different lane for second DisplayPort tunnel
Brad reported that on Apple hardware with Light Ridge or Falcon Ridge controller, plugging in a chain of Thunderbolt displays (Light Ridge based controllers) causes all kinds of tearing and flickering. The reason for this is that on Thunderbolt 1 hardware there is no lane bonding so we have two independent 10 Gb/s lanes, and currently Linux tunnels both displays through the lane 1. This makes the displays to share the 10 Gb/s bandwidth which may not be enough for higher resolutions. For this reason make the second tunnel go through the lane 0 instead. This seems to match what the macOS connection manager is also doing.
