bug: sway's xwayland is overriding system's xwayland which breaks fontDir

[RamKromberg]

Are you following the right branch?

• [X] My Nixpkgs and Home Manager versions are in sync

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Issue description

As detailed here, the way that home-manager's sway module hard-codes pkgs.xwayland means that the system's xwayland package can't be* used when it's recompiled to point to "/run/current-system/sw/share/X11/fonts". So, xfig, ddd and a few other ancient x11 programs that depend on X to provide them with fonts instead of fontconfig or their widget kit (old motif programs but a few pure-x11 ones as well) are stuck with very limited font selection.

• easily? obviously? I'm guesing there's some clever way to wrap around the issue I'm missing...
