bicarus e9dcc5717e launcher: option to run as user without elevation (#695)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
#694 

## Description of change
Before this change, we have it set in the executable manifest to always
ask for UAC elevation.

This change removes that and instead attempts to prompt for elevation
when we launch, depending on the new developer option that is being
added here to run as current user instead of elevating.

The default behavior continues to run as admin. This is still the safest
in terms of regression risk.

A bit of history on this: while spicecfg never technically needed to
elevate, we continue to do so to avoid difference in behavior when the
game is launched. For example, if the user is using an input remapper
running without elevation, it would inject input into spicecfg running
as user but fail to do so if the game runs elevated.

WinXP builds are unaffected (there is no UAC).

Some features will straight up fail without elevation so this will
remain as a debug option. To name a few (not a complete list):

* reboot/shutdown of PC
* running at realtime process priority
* `-nvprofile` option
* ...

bicarus b281517429 popn: hook DisplayConfigGetDeviceInfo to allow for any GPU port to be used for monitor, get past I/O check (#622)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
#618 

## Description of change
The game expects the main display to be *not* HDMI, and at port 2.

Hooking DisplayConfigGetDeviceInfo allows us to boot the game on any
monitor.

Add basic I/O hook. It gets stuck in `USB I/O Checking...` for a couple
minutes but it'll eventually skip and boot to title screen.

## Testing
ugh.

bicarus 45debeb5c9 iidx, sdvx: booting fullscreen with three or more monitors (#612)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
#345 

Hoping that #180 is also addressed by this change, but I can't test it.

## Description of change

IIDX (TDJ) and SDVX (Valk) will now be able to boot in full screen even
with 3 or more monitors attached.

spice will "hide" from the game any monitors other than the primary
monitor and one other monitor for subscreen, allowing it to boot without
crashing - accomplished by clearing `DISPLAY_DEVICE_ATTACHED_TO_DESKTOP`
flag when monitors are enumerated over `EnumDisplayDevicesA`, and
fortunately both games seem to respect that flag.

Add options (one for IIDX, another for SDVX) that lets you specify the
monitor ID of the second monitor.

When the option is set, user-specified monitor will be used as the
subscreen. When the option is not set, spice will just pick the
lowest-indexed monitor as the subscreen, not counting the primary one of
course.

## Testing
Tested both games with three monitors. Should probably work for four or
more.

bicarus ee3fa58bfa graphics: option to change primary monitor before launching game (#608)
## Description of change

Adds `-mainmonitor` option which changes the monitor layout before
launching the game. This is much more reliable than the old `-monitor`
option which operated at DX9 level. This works for TDJ/UFC subscreens,
for example.

Rename `-monitor` option to `-dx9mainadapter` to discourage use.
`-monitor` will continue to work, of course.

Changing of primary monitor happens first before any orientation changes
/ refresh rate changes, which means those options will result in the
logically correct configuration.

Create a new option category for `Monitor` (rotate, refresh rate, etc).

Add a monitor selection widget for `-mainmonitor` option in the
configurator.

Improve how we log names of monitors in the log during boot - should be
less of "Generic PnP Monitor" after this.
