[PATCH] xserver: add monitor Option "ZoomModes"

Add support for the Option "ZoomModes" in a monitor section:

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier "a21inch"
  Option "PreferredMode" "1600x1200"
  Option "ZoomModes" "1600x1200 1280x1024 1280x1024 640x480"
EndSection

The option's effect is to search for and mark once each named mode in
the output modes list.  So the specification order is free and the zoom 
modes sequence follows the order of the output modes list.  All marked 
modes are available via the Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-{Plus,Minus} key 
combination.

See also http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17954.

This option has its use for combined monitor and television setups.  
It allows for easy switching between 60 Hz and 50 Hz modes even when a 
monitor refuses to display the input signal.  

Is there any support for this enhancement ? The patch is here below.
