This will be used to extract the resolution and refresh rate from
strings like "1920x1080@60.0" or "1280x720". This aims to replace the
use of the locale dependent sscanf() function.

If two modes are roughly the same, they should probably use the same UI
scaling factor. I.e. for the same monitor, if a 4K mode was configured to
have a certain scaling factor, and we generate a new configuration with
a similar sized 4K mode, we should re-use the scale previously
configured; however if we e.g. go from a 4K mode to a FHD mode, we
shouldn't.
This allows implementing better hueristics when using the switch-config
feature, where we'd be less likely to loose the for a certain monitor
mode combination previously configured scaling factor.
