Bug Description
Implement the following sub-sections from the "Multiple Monitors UX Specification Phase 1" to improve some of the external display connect and disconnect use cases.
To summarize the requested changes:
1. When a external display is connected for the first time, auto detect whether it is a monitor or a projector/TV
2. Display a 'extend or mirror' panel (in the Unity system panel style) that displays this auto-detected choice to the user and gives them the choice of confirming or changing this decision.
3. In addition, pressing Super+P or Fn+F5 should bring up the 'extend or mirror' panel
-------
For detailed designs see:
Inside section 2.1: Booting Up, read the following sub-sections:
- Default Configuration Panel
- Connecting to a Projector or TV
Section 2.2: Hot-Plug Connecting
Section 2.4: Display Setup Keyboard Shortcut
Section 4.1 Booting up With a New Display Connected (but ignore the "I am presenting, do not disturb" checkbox in step 5).
Section 4.3 Hot-plug Connecting a Projector for the First Time (again ignore the "I am presenting, do not disturb" checkbox)
Section 4.4 Hot-plug Disconnecting From a Projector in Mirrored Mode
