Engine does not start on some Windows 10/11 laptops

This has been reported several times and also applies for the original BFG edition. It seems to be a bug in the Display enumerator code.

With Vulkan, this could be similar to godotengine/godot#57708 if the issue is scoped to AMD integrated + NVIDIA dedicated GPU configurations.

Thanks for the hint. I have a new notebook where I can finally reproduce the problem.

I think the problem in the BFG code is here:

       if( !( device.StateFlags & DISPLAY_DEVICE_ATTACHED_TO_DESKTOP ) )
        {
            continue;
        }

Well in my case it was that my notebook display only supports 165 Hz and the BFG edition usually discards all resolutions that don't support 60 and 120 Hz.

I also extended the code to check for:

if( !( device.StateFlags & ( DISPLAY_DEVICE_ATTACHED_TO_DESKTOP | DISPLAY_DEVICE_PRIMARY_DEVICE ) ) )
