[Proposal] Rename --match-edid to --ignore-outputname #401

Description

@9las

I propose renaming the --match-edid option to --ignore-outputname (or a similar name) to better reflect its actual behavior.

The current name, --match-edid, is somewhat misleading because autorandr always matches displays by EDID, even without this option. What the --match-edid option truly changes is the behavior of how output names are handled—it tells autorandr to ignore output names and rely solely on EDID for matching.

Renaming the option to something like --ignore-outputname would make its functionality more intuitive, as it emphasizes what is being ignored (the output name) rather than what is already a default behavior (EDID matching).
