Fix #4967: a drawing tablet's pen draws on a Wayland session by default

Browse Source 
On a Wayland session Linux Display Server's default, Automatic, opened
the window on native Wayland. winit 0.30 doesn't bind the Wayland tablet
protocol, and KWin (since Plasma 6.3) and Mutter turn no tablet input
into pointer input, so the pen moved only the compositor's cursor and
the app got no motion or presses. Only X11 (XWayland) When a Pen Is
Attached, which users had to find and choose, sent the window through
XWayland, where the pen works as a mouse with its pressure.

Automatic now opens the window through XWayland when a pen is attached
as the app starts, as PhotoCraft does by default.
VECTORCRAFT_NATIVE_WAYLAND=1 keeps the window on Wayland, like
PhotoCraft's PHOTOCRAFT_NATIVE_WAYLAND. The X11 choice is unchanged.
