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.
