releasing: Revert fix and just document work-around of Xwayland path
If Xwayland is not in /usr/bin, distcheck will fail without patch 023b265b, which propagates @XSERVER_PATH@ to distcheck but blocks other use of the DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS env var. Instead, revert the fix and merely document the need for setting DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS manually. Revert "build: Pass along any user-specified xserver path to distcheck" This reverts commit 023b265b44a8ffc9dd303abc50f8b060a2115e55.
