Bug description:
  [Impact]
  gnome-control-center crashed when switching to mirror mode and monitors don't 
have matched resolution

  [Test case]
  Mirror mode is only an option if there are only 2 monitors connected even if 
one monitor is disabled. A laptop's internal screen counts as one of the 
monitors.

  This particular bug requires two screens that have a screen resolution
  that they don't both share. (See comment 12 for an example).

  1. Connect the monitors
  2. Open the GNOME Settings app (gnome-control-center)
  3. On the left sidebar, click Displays to switch to the Display panel
  4. Switch to mirror mode
  3. gnome-control-center won't crash

  [Where problems could occur]
  This only modifies the code related to mirror mode in Displays panel.

  For Lunar, check variable (best_mode) before using it. This patch is
  backported from GNOME 45 Alpha.

  For Jammy, include the Lunar patch and update the way to find cloning
  mode. These 2 additional patches are backported from gnome-control-
  center 43.

  [Other info]
  Two Merge Request are related
  1. Check best_mode exist before adding flag 
(https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/1835)
  2. Use virtual clone modes when mirroring
