The three character PNP ID is a key to manufacturer name database. It
may be desirable to report the manufacturer's real name than just PNP ID
which can be misleading, e.g. MSI refers to Microstep and not MSI GmbH.
This builds the PNP ID database into libdisplay-info to avoid having to
find and parse files at runtime.
tool/gen-search-table.py started as a copy of Wayland 1.21.0's
src/embed.py and took influence from
10945c4ed8/conv.py
However, our script parses the text file shipped in hwdata package in
Debian (and presumably other distributions) rather than the original
CSV.

The Display Monitor Timing specification is a PDF with data tables.
A small Python script can be used to extract its contents in a
machine-readable form.
For now only extract a few fields. This can be extended later.
