This PR introduces the new option workarounds/force_xwayland_scaling with a default value of false. When enabled, the option disables compositor-side scaling for Xwayland windows. This means that Xwayland applications will see the outputs with their real resolutions and will be able to render at the full resolution. However, fonts will usually appear tiny, so users need to adjust their DPI and font size for the various Xwayland applications they use.

Fixes #2719
