Bug #29603: document that there might be multiple preferred modes
The X server sorts the mode list for an output with preferred modes first, and
specifies how many preferred modes there are by setting the npreferred field in
the XRRModeInfo structure.
Update the man page to refer to preferred modes in the plural, and mention that
--auto and --preferred use the *first* preferred mode.
