A mechanism was introduced to retry capture at a lower resolution to
support devices unable to encode at the device screen resolution.
While useful, this approach is inherently limited and will not be able
to handle the dynamic resizing required for resizable virtual displays.
Disable this mechanism entirely. Further commits will add support for
adjusting the size in advance according to video encoder capabilities.

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.

Deprecate --lock-video-orientation in favor of a more general option
--capture-orientation, which supports all possible orientations
(0, 90, 180, 270, flip0, flip90, flip180, flip270), and a "locked" flag
via a '@' prefix.
All the old "locked video orientations" are supported:
- --lock-video-orientation -> --capture-orientation=@
- --lock-video-orientation=0 -> --capture-orientation=@0
- --lock-video-orientation=90 -> --capture-orientation=@90
- --lock-video-orientation=180 -> --capture-orientation=@180
- --lock-video-orientation=270 -> --capture-orientation=@270
In addition, --capture-orientation can rotate/flip the display without
locking, so that it follows the physical device rotation.
For example:
scrcpy --capture-orientation=flip90
always flips and rotates the capture by 90° clockwise.
The arguments are consistent with --display-orientation and
--record-orientation and --orientation (which provide separate
client-side orientation settings).

The option is named "display id" everywhere.
This will be consistent with --camera-id (there will be many camera
options, so an option --camera would be confusing).

The README.md page is HUGE. Split it up.
Also document audio forwarding and improve installation instructions for
each platform and user documentation.
