Update handbook expense limit for monitors

Why is this change being made?

The average price of the monitor of $380 is pretty low, even for a budget monitor. Since we rate monitors as a 10/10 importance for home office workspaces, this is being updated to a more reasonable number of $600 to accommodate the current industry prices for 4K and ultra-wide monitors that many team members buy today.

Since the original budget assumed that most team members used dual monitors and ultra-wide monitors replace 2 monitors, this adds the change that you can expense double the amount for ultra-wide monitors.
