I think the terminology should simply reflect whatever structure has changed.
If this means that al_get_num_video_adapters() increases by one, then
the event should be ALLEGRO_EVENT_VIDEO_ADAPTER_ADDED (or something
like that). If an existing video adapter now has new monitor
information retrievable via al_get_monitor_info(), then it should be
ALLEGRO_EVENT_MONITOR_CONNECTED.
It could be that both events should exist and be triggered one after
the other. In that case, we could probably hold off on the
VIDEO_ADAPTER event until it is more meaningful in other contexts.
