xwayland: introduce WLR_XWAYLAND for specifying which Xwayland to use
When debugging Xwayland-related issues, a common first step in debugging
has been to ask the reporter to move their real Xwayland to
/usr/bin/Xwayland.bin, and create a shell script starting Xwayland with
extra arguments under the original /usr/bin/Xwayland location.
Introducing a `WLR_XWAYLAND` environment variable makes this less
invasive, by allowing the user to swap out Xwayland without resorting to
global system changes (or source patches).
