Using wine-wayland both in x11 and wayland enviroment. #10

Right now running wine-wayland on x11 shows wayland display is not working but it would be great if we could use some env var or auto detect to change backend making this patch work on both x11 and wayland.

wine-wayland requires a wayland compositor to run. X11 is not supported. You can use regular wine build on X11.

At first I couldn't understand this request, but it makes sense to be able to use normal wine alongside wine-wayland. Some reasons and usecases include: wine-wayland does not support every application and function. Thanks to XWayland normal wine can be used in a wayland environment. Some users switch between X11 and Wayland (this is possible in many ways, e.g. because Wayland can also be used as a X-Client).

So an "easy" solution would be to install wine-wayland seperate from normal wine (instead of replacing it) and then let the users decide which wine version is set as default for command "wine".
