Update documentation for Wayland

Tasks

  • Developers give technical writers a list of user-facing changes brought by !838 (merged)
  • Update end-user documentation
    • doc/first_steps/welcome_screen/administration_password (at least the part that mentions #12213 (closed))
    • doc/anonymous_internet/unsafe_browser/security_implications.inline (at least the part that mentions #12213 (closed))
    • wiki/src/doc/anonymous_internet/tor.mdwn (the part that mentions #18219 (closed))
    • xorg-driver= and nomodeset workarounds are not relevant anymore (and they even break the boot, at least on some machines; see #19321 (closed) for details): a37c5535
  • Consider making the recommendation to close the Unsafe Browser stronger (!956 (comment 199070))

User-facing changes

  • Tor Browser, Thunderbird, and the Unsafe Browser now run as native Wayland applications ⇒ better security. But this may cause some small but annoying UI bugs as of Tor Browser 11.5 (based on Firefox 91), which are fixed in Tor Browser 12 (based on Firefox 102), which should be released before 5.8
