monitor OSD showing color settings

SUMMARY
KWin keeps engaging my monitors at 30-bit color instead of 24-bit color,
causing graphical instability. It happens on the DRM drivers, and the open
drivers.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. set KWIN_DRM_PREFER_COLOR_DEPTH=24
2. that does not occur

OBSERVED RESULT
monitor shows 30-bit color, unlike on Windows

EXPECTED RESULT
monitor shows 24-bit color like on Windows
