cmd_output: support current output alias
Similar to seat command, this provides an alias for the current output. Instead of the output name or identifier, `-` can be used to operate on the focused output by name and `--` can be used to operate on the focused output by its identifier. This will prevent operating on the no-op output when using either alias.
