testing: write a test to validate that custom attributes can flow through the display configuration #184

Validate that custom attributes can be provided in the display configuration. This was first encountered in #172. To test:

Start a Mir compositor with the --display-config static=$FILENAME flag

In the configuration, have a custom attribute, e.g. snap-name in the following example:

 # ...
  HDMI-A-4:
    state: enabled
    mode: 2560x1440@60.0
    position: [2560, 0]
    orientation: normal
    scale: 1
    group: 0
    snap-name: mir-kiosk-neverputt

Check the logs of your compositor. On ubuntu-frame you can do:
```
 snap logs ubuntu-frame -n 50
```
Validate that you see your custom attribute when the display is logged
