config/output: Allow approximation of output refresh rate

Previous behavior was that only if resolution and refresh rate match
exactly, the mode was accepted. As fallback, the mode with the highest
refresh rate and the same resolution was chosen.

New behavior is that the mode with the closest match for the refresh
rate is used with a limit of up to 1Hz. The fallback behavior stays the same.

Additionally, the logging was made more verbose.
