In commit 7e1f86d4 monitor support was added to randr. At this time it seemed to be reasonable not to have
more than one (virtual) monitor on a particular physical display. The code was never changed since.
Nowadays, extremely large displays exists (4k displays, ultra-wide displays). In some use cases it makes sense to
split these large physical displays into multiple virtual monitors. An example are ultra-wide screens that can be
split into 2 monitors. The change in this commit makes this work.
Besides that, removing a monitor in a function that is called "RRMonitorAdd" is bad practice and causes
unexpected behaviour.
When calling RRSetMonitor, an existing monitor name is allowed.
"If 'name' matches an existing Monitor on the screen, the existing one
will be deleted as if RRDeleteMonitor were called."
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/randrproto/tree/randrproto.txt
It looks like the check was added by mistake, because in the next 'for'
the monitor is deleted if it is in this list.
Steps to reproduce:
Try RRSetMonitor with existing monitor name and other valid params
OBSERVED RESULT:
RRSetMonitors returns BadValue
EXPECTED RESULT:
RRSetMonitors returns OK

Monitor outputs are of type RROutput, not RRCrtc.
(Which are both XID, so this makes no difference in practice, other than
being technically correct.)

A single provider can be both a offload and source slave at the same time,
the use of seperate lists breaks in this case e.g. :
xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x7b cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 3 outputs: 2 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting
Provider 1: id: 0x46 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 2 outputs: 5 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0x7b
xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x7b cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 3 outputs: 2 associated providers: 1 name:modesetting
Provider 1: id: 0x46 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 2 outputs: 5 associated providers: 1 name:modesetting
xrandr --setprovideroffloadsink 1 0x7b
xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 3
Provider 0: id: 0x7b cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 3 outputs: 2 associated providers: 2 name:modesetting
Provider 1: id: 0x46 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 2 outputs: 5 associated providers: 2 name:modesetting
Provider 2: id: 0x46 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 2 outputs: 5 associated providers: 2 name:modesetting
Not good. The problem is that the provider with id 0x46 now is on both
the output_slave_list and the offload_slave_list of the master screen.
This commit fixes this by unifying all 3 lists into a single slaves list.
Note that this does change the struct _Screen definition, so this is an ABI
break. I do not expect any of the drivers to actually use the removed / changed
fields so a recompile should suffice.

Make sure we account for slave CRTCs when building the monitor list,
since that's what rrxinerama uses to fake Xinerama geometry.

Generate a list of monitors from both the user-defined ones and from
any outputs not mentioned in one of the user-defined monitors. This list
covers both the outputs in the main screen as well as any slaves.
