Public bug reported:

Provide an option to display either a single launcher or a launcher on
each display in a multi-monitor environment.

Add the option 'Launcher placement' to the Displays panel.
A drop-down list provides the following options:
Display name 1
Display name 2
...
All displays

By default, the primary display will be selected, to display just a
single Launcher on the primary display.

A fallback solution is proposed where proprietary drivers report a single 
display in the Displays panel (where multiple displays are connected). The 
drop-down list options revert to:
Primary display
All displays

Please see addendum to System Settings specification:

'multimonitor: Please give me a way to turn off sticky monitor edges':
