If the GPU process is started in software rendering mode, it's almost
always because it has crashed too many times in hardware rendering mode.
Leave a helpful error message for new developers, since this commonly
occurs when building Ozone-Wayland for new devices or when hacking on
the GPU process, and it can take a while to figure out what's going on
if you haven't seen it before.
