Olivier 25cf0167c1 Enhance 14900k configuration with streaming display support and virtual EDID generation
- Added a new `streaming-display.nix` module to configure a headless 4K virtual output for Sunshine and Moonlight.
- Introduced a Python script `generate-virtual-edid.py` to create a virtual display EDID with 4K capabilities.
- Updated `configuration.nix` to integrate the new streaming display module and enable related services.
- Modified `displays.nix` to accommodate the new streaming display settings and ensure compatibility with existing GPU passthrough configurations.

# Headless 4K virtual output for Sunshine → Moonlight on a client TV.
#
# NVIDIA proprietary driver: both kernel params are required —
# video=<connector>:e force-enables the connector
# drm.edid_firmware=<connector>:… loads modes from the EDID blob
#
# Pick a connector that is disconnected on the host (check after boot):
# grep -H . /sys/class/drm/card*-*/status
#
# Reboot after changing connector or EDID. 4K@60 is realistic on RTX 2070;
# 4K@120 on a sink-less connector needs driver patches (see NVIDIA issue #1184).
