based on:
1. The `match_asterisk` closeness of EDID patterns,
2. The percent of outputs in the profile that are also available in
the current RandR configuration, and
3. The percent of outputs in the current RandR configuration that
are in the profile.
BREAKING CHANGE: outputs are liable to be included in the detected set
even if they are missing one or more outputs present in the current
RandR configuration.

This PR introduces a more-holistic profile comparison that is based on the following criteria:
match_asteriskcloseness of EDID patterns,These three criteria are weighted identically. Profiles that have better overall EDID pattern matches and output overlaps with the current RandR configuration are preferred.
Additionally, this PR extends EDID matching to all outputs in a profile, rather than just the last output (where "last" means "final element in
profile["config"].keys()").Motivation: when my laptop is docked, I would like
autorandrto automatically select a profile that includes my external monitors. I suspect that I am not alone in this; however, I would be happy to update this PR to gate the new behavior behind a CLI flag if you'd like to default to the current profile-sorting behavior.Note that both of these are breaking changes, as explained in the corresponding commit messages.
Thanks in advance for your consideration!
