Minimum scale would be useful #135

Hi!

I've been a very happy user of way-displays for over a year already. It's the best way of configuring displays I've seen on any platform.

Today I found the first display that I kind of have trouble with: a 27" full HD one. Since the pixels are really big, the autoscale puts me at 0.875 making everything blurry.

Of course, a simple way-displays --set SCALE HDMI-A-1 1.0 fixes the issue. But I don't foresee any situation where I'd like a scale less than 1.0, so I'd configure it if I could.

If you think this is a good idea I could implement it and make a PR.

That's a great idea - less than 1 is not a scenario I considered, however it is indeed not desirable.

I'd be most grateful for a PR: https://github.com/alex-courtis/way-displays/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
