the accelerant, as well as its EDID info. B_GET_PREFERRED_DISPLAY_MODE and
B_GET_EDID_INFO are both optional. The preferred mode will be taken from the
EDID info if only the latter hook is implemented, or the former returned an
error.
* Currently, the app_server should correctly set the preferred mode on start,
but no accelerant supports that yet, so it's not really tested.

* instead a fitting display mode from the list, and having a fallback
"ignore frequency" mode, the closest available screen mode is now
chosen.
* The display_mode's frequency of the mode found is now adapted to the
requested frequency, as it's done in the screen preferences panel.
* Removed the fallback 8 bit mode for now; instead, we should have
_FindMode() deviate from the color space as well, if needed.
* This all fixes the problem that you suddenly had an (still badly
supported) 8 bit mode after reboot, instead of the one originally
chosen in the screen mode preferences.

modes right yet.
The settings are stored in B_USER_SETTINGS_DIRECTORY/system/app_server/workspaces.
They are currently saved as a flattened BMessage - we might want to switch to the
driver_settings format, though.

- introduced new ScreenManager and VirtualScreen classes
- removed screen handling from RootLayer
- removed multiple screen/root layer stuff from Desktop, it's
now using a VirtualScreen object instead

has to care about refresh rates. Also changed Screen::GetMode() (formerly
Resolution()) to return all interesting values, so that hopefully no one
will call it anymore like RootLayer::SetScreens() did.
Greatly improved the horrible RootLayer::SetScreens().
The app_server is now able to deal with failing HWInterface::SetMode() calls;
in this case, it will fall back to the hardware's current mode. This now
also works correctly in combination with the vesa driver, so that you don't
have to compile the app_server with the same resolution you boot in anymore.
SetMode() now always returns if it succeeded or not.
Renamed RootLayer::fScreenXYResolution to fScreenWidth/Height respectively.
Removed the useless DisplayDriver::DisplayMode() method.
Added B_GET_DISPLAY_MODE to the required accelerant hooks.
Some minor cleanup.
