1. Dissociate virtual display size and capture size …

   Allow capturing virtual displays at a lower resolution using
   -m/--max-size.
   
   In the original implementation in #5370, the virtual display size was
   necessarily the same as the capture size. The --max-size value was only
   allowed to determine the virtual display size when no explicit size was
   provided.
   
   Since the dpi was scaled down accordingly, it is often better to create
   a virtual display at the target capture size directly. However, not
   everything is rendered according to the virtual display DPI. For
   example, a page in Firefox is rendered too big on small virtual
   displays. Thus, it makes sense to be able create a virtual display at a
   given size, and capture it at a lower resolution with --max-size. This
   is now possible using OpenGL filters.
   
   Therefore, change the behavior of --max-size for virtual displays:
    - --max-size does not impact --new-display without size argument
      anymore (the virtual display size is the main display size);
    - it is used to limit the capture size (whether an explicit size is
      provided or not).
   
   This new behavior is consistent with main display capture.
