[PATCHv3] Add name event to xdg-output

[Philipp Kerling]

Hi,

maybe I missed it at some point in the discussion (sorry if that is the
case), but what is your use case for the "name?" What are clients
expected to use it for?
The description mentions "similar behaviors", but it is unclear to me
what you are referring to.

Regards,
Philipp
