#9932: Allow selection of display on graphics devices with multiple outputs

My computer is an HP t5745 which has two video outputs, shown in the
GNU/Linux 'lspci' output as:
{{{
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series
Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
}}}
The display is connected to the second device but Haiku displays to the
first, which is a lower-resolution analogue output and in fact it won't go
beyond 1024x768.
There should be a configuration option to tell Haiku to use the second
output.
Even nicer would be a xrandr-style preferences dialog to allow switching
and positioning of the two outputs.
There is no BIOS option to select the output.
#9894 is related but refers to multiple cards, not multiple outputs of one
card.
