Add option to force custom mode/resolution #10

It would be great if this tool had and option to force a custom resolution that is not listed by the monitor. Right now it just says: Failed to set configuration: Invalid mode

This feature would be very useful for Monitors and adapters that don't return all the supported resolutions and for setting any desired resolution for use with a remote access tool such as sunshine.

This tool (gnome-monitor-config) is just a nice wrapper over D-Bus calls. That error comes from mutter/gnome-shell when this tool invokes org.gnome.Mutter.DisplayConfig.ApplyMonitorsConfig D-Bus method. You need to ask in another place: Mutter issue tracker (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter).
