Two small fixes from beta.11 feedback.

#60 — AppImage blank window on Wayland. WebKitGTK's DMABUF renderer crashes on some Wayland/Mesa setups (Could not create default EGL display: EGL_BAD_PARAMETER), leaving a blank window. We now set WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 at Linux startup, honoring an existing value so power users can still force it on. Removes the need for the LD_PRELOAD=libwayland-client workaround.

#58 — Virtual Remote Keyboard. Widened the optimize description to call out the Android TV Remote integration used by smart-home apps like Home Assistant. It was already opt-in (default_optimize: false), so this is a clarity fix.

Fixes #60
Fixes #58

Linux: force WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 at startup (honoring an
existing value) so WebKitGTK's DMABUF renderer can't crash with
EGL_BAD_PARAMETER and leave a blank window. Users no longer need the
LD_PRELOAD=libwayland-client workaround.

Virtual Remote Keyboard: widen the optimize description to note the
Android TV Remote integration used by smart-home apps like Home
Assistant, so it's clear before disabling. It's already opt-in
(default_optimize: false).

Fixes #60
Fixes #58
