Describe the Bug
Currently, when using portalgrab, the Wayland monitor enumeration depends on the xdg-output protocol, which may not be available on every compositor (gamescope is the one I'm testing). This is a common protocol nowadays, but all it's really necessary for is handling high-DPI scenarios; basic compositors like gamescope don't do any desktop scaling so the information you get from the wl_output callbacks is enough to get the full display information.
The gamescope stream is being acquired via xdg-desktop-portal-gamescope.
Expected Behavior
Sunshine acquires the gamescope Wayland display and enumerates monitors using only wl_output callback data.
