Description:

mesa-demos could (should?) be added as an optional dependency to screenfetch. It provides much more detailed GPU detection if installed.

Additional info:

* config and/or log files etc.

Example output on my system:

(without mesa-demos installed)
$> screenfetch -nN | grep GPU
GPU: intel

(with mesa-demos installed)
$> screenfetch -nN | grep GPU
GPU: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwell GT2)

Steps to reproduce:
