Reimplement support for ctrl-alt-+/-

Description
When xrandr 1.2 was added, the support for ctrl-alt-+/- shortcut for cycling between the available modes was dropped.
This is a feature that people with low vision appreciate because it is very simple to get working, as opposed to software magnification (which btw may burn quite some CPU, while we have the more-than-efficient hardware solution above). That's also quite useful for quickly zooming a part of the screen during a conference, so that people in the back can see :)
On the xorg mailing list David Dusinow said that we `should be able to do this today without bumping the protocol.', just a server patch.
When dealing with several screens, the principle could be to cycle the mode of the screen which the cursor is currently in.
