DOCS/vo: clarify dmabuf-wayland a bit 

Make it clearer that you should be using --hwdec with this VO. Also make
some comments about the things that are required for this to work
correctly (i.e. working drivers/GPU and the right compositor).

@ -291,8 +291,12 @@ Available video output drivers are:
or VA API hardware decoding. The driver is designed to avoid any GPU to CPU copies,
and to perform scaling and color space conversion using fixed-function hardware,
if available, rather than GPU shaders. This frees up GPU resources for other tasks.
Currently this driver is experimental and only works with the ``--hwdec=vaapi``
or ``hwdec=drm`` drivers. Supported compositors : Weston and Sway.
It is highly recommended to use this VO with the appropriate ``--hwdec`` option such
as ``auto-safe``. It can still work in some circumstances without ``--hwdec`` due to
mpv's internal conversion filters, but this is not recommended as it's a needless
extra step. Correct output depends on support from your GPU, drivers, and compositor.
Weston and wlroots-based compositors like Sway and Intel GPUs are known to generally
work.
``vaapi``
Intel VA API video output driver with support for hardware decoding. Note
