Subject: [PATCH] Name the monitor SCALE targets when multiple displays are
 connected

SCALE only applies to the focused monitor, which is easy to lose track
of with several displays. Show the focused monitor's name on the right
of the SCALE header (matching the BRIGHTNESS/TEXT SIZE value
convention), hidden when only one display is enabled.
