Instead of having a build-time option to enable/disable xwayland
support, just use the wlroots build config: enable xwayland in
Sway if it was enabled when building wlroots. I don't see any
use-case for disabling xwayland in Sway when enabled in wlroots:
Sway doesn't pull in any additional dependency (just pulls in
dependencies that wlroots already needs). We have a config command
to disable xwayland at runtime anyways.
This makes it so xwayland behaves the same way as other features
such as libinput backend and session support. This also reduces
the build matrix (less combinations of build options).
I think we originally introduced the xwayland option when we didn't
have a good way to figure out the wlroots build config from the
Sway build system.
swaybg is out-of-tree so not relevant here. swaybar's tray doesn't
actually depend on gdk-pixbuf, but gdk-pixbuf enables more image
formats for swaybar tray when available.

Let's set the version in the meson file instead of declaring it outside.
In case git is installed we use the git hash as version. Instead it
isn't (like on a clean build system), let's use the version defined in
the project.
It's better to use DT_RPATH dynamic section of the elf binary to store
the paths of libraries to load instead of overwriting LD_LIBRARY_PATH
for the whole environment, causing surprises. This solution is much more
transparent and perfectly suitable for running contained installations
of wayland/wlroots/sway.
The code unsetting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH/LD_PRELOAD was also deleted as
it's a placebo security at best - we should trust the execution path
that leads us to running sway, and it's way too late to care about those
variables since we already started executing our compositor, thus we
would be compromised anyway.
