Subject: [PATCH] fix(linux): remove unnecessary desktopCapturer call from
 display media handler

The setDisplayMediaRequestHandler was calling desktopCapturer.getSources()
to provide a video source that the renderer never uses (it requests
video: false and only consumes audio tracks). On Wayland, this created a
new xdg-desktop-portal ScreenCast session on every launch, showing an
unavoidable screen share dialog because Electron does not persist
PipeWire restore tokens across desktopCapturer sessions.

Simplified the handler to return only { audio: 'loopback' }, which
captures system audio via PipeWire/PulseAudio monitor source without
any portal interaction.
