  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
