           Summary: [Feature Request] [Plasma-Bigscreen] Save display
                    settings for session in a separate
                    kwinoutputconfig.json.

DESCRIPTION

Currently Plasma Bigscreen shares a kwinoutputconfig with Plasma, this means
that for a machine that has a dual-usage (Such as a desktop with connected
monitors, and a media center that outputs to a connected reciever/TV), the
display has to be switched every time. 

My current workaround is to have two copies of correctly configured
kwinoutputconfigs and symlink the desired one before startplasma-wayland. As I
must not be the only one who has this setup, I think it is a valid
wishlist/feature request. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log in to Plasma, observe monitor output
2. Change monitor settings in a noticable way (Disable a monitor, change
resolution, etc)
3. Logout
4. Login to Plasma-Bigscreen, observe monitor output

OBSERVED RESULT
Previously changed settings are now mirrored to the Bigscreen setup, too

EXPECTED RESULT
The settings pre-change are displayed in Bigscreen, indicating that the configs
are seperate.

(I imagine there would be some value in having an option in Settings to
Split/Globalize the display settings between both sessions).
