My 24" 4k monitor is high definition and calculated pixel density is ~184 DPI. The auto hi-definition script previously used 192 DPI as the cut-off for high definition monitor detection and classified it as normal definition, making UI elements too small.

This PR changes the default cut-off to 144 DPI (halfway between the "standard" DPI values of 96 dpi for normal definition and 192 DPI for high definition displays), and adds (and documents) a config file option hidpi-detection-cutoff to set a custom cut-off value.
