wish: documen expected output format of output configuration #185

The expected format of the output configuration values is not currently documented.

From looking at how the completions work, a correct format is like DP-1 or eDP-2.

It would be helpful to document if these are the only the accepted formats, since these values sometimes change.

Sway supports targetting a specific brand/model/serial number with values like " "Some Company ABC123 0x00000000". From a test, it appears Fuzzel doesn't support that style if output ID, but maybe there's another format I'm missing.

This relates some to #130, because if people are going to be able to position Fuzzel, they will also likely want to target the specific monitor it appears on.

There's no "format", it's just the identifier (as set by the compositor). But I guess we could make this more clear. We could also mention e.g. wlr-randr and what to look for in its output.

I'm open for other suggestions.
