Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
Allow per monitor input selection within the Power Display profiles.
### Scenario when this would be used?
For monitors with multiple devices connected (computer, Blu-ray player, etc.) this would allow saved profiles for specific activities: computer productivity or gaming, watching Blu-ray discs, etc.
This can also be expanded for multiple monitor setups to easily switch inputs on all monitors. For example, I have a Dell monitor with a built-in KVM. I connect multiple computers to this monitor (Home, Work). Each computer is also connected to a secondary monitor on a different port. Switching between saved profiles could change the input on one or more monitors to allow easy switching between home and work computers.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the Power Display profile implementation and the monitor input-handling entry points; define how profiles select inputs for one or more monitors, then verify that saved profiles switch the requested displays as described.
