A hammer? monitors.xml is a user config, safe to delete, "well-known" file
name (in gnomerr API reference)

We could link with libgnome-desktop and call
gnome_rr_config_get_intended_filename() instead, I thought that was
overkill for something that is hardcoded.

This file is not hidden or protected in any way, it doesn't use a private
namespace etc.

we don't want to restore user config when vdagent config applies.
Fortunately, with gnome3 & drm driver, that code path is not triggered.

Having a random outcome is and a different output in upstream and
downstream is not better imho.
