Forms are often just opened to look something up. Then a tiny wag and
the form is modified and will be saved. So this DPI property will
change often, polluting the vcs diffs.
This property should be optional.

One solution is to define a TForm descendant with this property.
Once this is registered in the IDE, existing forms can be easily
changed.
