This improves the way the output numbers are handled for the noop
backend. Instead of using the number of active outputs plus one, the
last used number is stored and new outputs will increment it. This
fixes the situation where you start with one output, create a second,
close the first, and create a third. Without this, both outputs will be
NOOP-2, which causes an issue since the identifier will also be
identical. With this, the last output is NOOP-3 and the outputs can be
distinguished.
The noop backend is similar to headless, but it doesn't contain a
renderer. It can be used as a place to stash views for when there's no
physical outputs connected.
