[rcore] HiDPI not working as expected on Wayland protocol

[iongion]

Please, before submitting a new issue verify and check:

• I tested it on latest raylib version from master branch
• I checked there is no similar issue already reported
• I checked the documentation on the wiki
• My code has no errors or misuse of raylib

Issue description

Something happened in this branch merge 1904873 that broke the HiDPI behavior in Linux environment, if I switch to previous commit, before the merge, all is proper 68b553c

Environment

• Operating System is Linux Ubuntu 22.04 running on Windows 11 WSL with export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 to avoid trouble with the Nvidia WSL drivers

Issue Screenshot

1. Sample output on broken branch - it looks that something gets it to switch to wayland

This produces this image, when running the sample, which render properly

Code Example

• Checkout and build the faulty version commit ID and run any of the default examples

This looks the same as the issue in raylib-go gen2brain/raylib-go#354. With different compositors, it works but with Gnome/Mutter, it is like that (although I cannot reproduce it in VM with Gnome/Wayland). You can just use an X11 session, or compile with SDL, or try a different compositor, but it looks like it is specific to something in Gnome.

Just to add, before that commit, you were using X11 compatibility mode in Wayland, now you are using native Wayland mode. In raylib-go I added a build tag x11 (i.e. I just don't define -D_GLFW_WAYLAND) for users who want to keep the old/compatibility behavior.
