docs(linux): clarify AppImage is the X11/XWayland channel (#928)

After #731 the .deb/.rpm/Nix packages follow the session display server,
but AppImage still pins GDK_BACKEND=x11 via its AppRun hook. Document the
asymmetry in the install guidance and complete the #731 changelog entry so
users know which package gives a native-Wayland launch.

* **Nix / AUR** default installs follow the session GDK backend instead of pinning `GDK_BACKEND=x11`; startup applies **`webkit2gtk-nvidia-quirk`** only (skip with **`PSYSONIC_WEBKIT_GPU_ACCEL`**). **`nix run .#psysonic-x11-legacy`** keeps the old explicit X11 launcher.
* **AppImage stays on X11/XWayland**: unlike the `.deb` / `.rpm` / Nix packages it still pins `GDK_BACKEND=x11` (set by the bundle's AppRun hook), so it doubles as the legacy channel. Use `.deb`, `.rpm`, AUR, or the Nix default for a native-Wayland launch.
* **NVIDIA + forced X11** on a Wayland user session no longer greys out the webview — the quirk uses the DMABUF renderer path instead of Wayland explicit-sync disable.
* **Wayland + GPU compositing:** clearer UI text via on-demand hardware acceleration on main and mini webviews; **Settings → System** adds **Wayland text rendering** presets (Balanced / Sharp / GPU / Minimal). Opt out with **`PSYSONIC_SKIP_WAYLAND_FONT_TUNING`**.
