wayland_common: require WAYLAND_DISPLAY to be set for initialization 

Currently, Wayland is above X11 and DRM in probe order. The success
of automatic probing depends on the fact that unsuitable backends
would fail to initialize. For example, X11 backend (which uses Xlib)
fails to initialize if DISPLAY environment variable is not set, so
starting mpv in VT console will pick the DRM backend as expected,
even when an X server is running in another VT.

However, libwayland-client used by the Wayland backend has the
"helpful" behavior of falling back to "wayland-0" if WAYLAND_DISPLAY
is not set. This breaks autoprobing if mpv is started from X server
or VT console while a running Wayland compositor running in another
VT (or even running as an X client) is using "wayland-0" for protocol
socket name: mpv will start playing in the Wayland compsitor instead
of using the X11 or DRM backends.

Similar to DISPLAY for X server, We should consider exporting
WAYLAND_DISPLAY to child processes the responsibility of Wayland
compositors, and any compositor not doing this should be considered
broken. Thus we now require WAYLAND_DISPLAY to be set for the
backend initialization to succeed to make sure that autoprobing
works as intended.
