Display Settings don't remember enabled/disabled state of displays when restoring configuration

[cyrneko]

What Happened?

When setting up a configuration with i.e a laptop dock, it may be desirable to turn off the internal screen which isn't being used once docked. Whilst the display settings remember the position, scaling, resolution and refresh rate of the built-in display, it does not remember the enabled/disabled state once the external display is plugged back in.

It then defaults to the extend behavior, with the layout that was previously defined.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Connect a 2nd display on a laptop
2. Configure your layout, then disable the built-in laptop display
3. Confirm the layout works as expected
4. Remove the external display (i.e un-dock, remove cable)
5. The built-in display will re-enable, being the only display
6. Re-plug the external display
7. Settings get applied, except enabled state, defaulting to both displays in the "extend" configuration.

Expected Behavior

The Enabled/Disabled state of a display should be remembered across configuration changes.

As I described, the setup I have is one in which a laptop is docked to a desktop-like setup with an external display. Other than that there's no specialized hardware.
