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

Browse Source 
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.
