wayland: Use the output descriptions from xdg-output when available Some compositors will provide 'nicer' / 'human readable' output descriptions via the xdg-output protocol. Use these description strings, when available, instead of the model name provided by wl-output. On compositors such as GNOME where this is provided, the display names provided to applications by SDL will now match those in the desktop display settings panel. On compositors where this data isn't provided, the old behavior of using the model string provided by wl-output will remain unchanged. Additionally, per the protocol spec, output data provided by xdg-output should supersede wl-output data, so this is the recommended behavior in general.
