update to 1.44

[Simon-Laux]

Observations:

• chat.delta.desktop.yml: enable wayland, fallback-x11 #124 works (it is already merged into this pr), but has blurriness issues with systemwide display scaling in gnome.
• notification closing still crashes the app (clicking on notifications or entering a chat that has open notifications)

Update: I solved both observations/issues

TODO

• optionally: investigate the blurriness - but that seems to be an upstream chromium bug (chat.delta.desktop.yml: enable wayland, fallback-x11 #124 (comment))
• fix notification crash (Delta Chat crashes when trying to read new messages deltachat/deltachat-desktop#3590)
• wait for 1.44 release, currently it is based on the 1.43.x test releases

closes #118
closes deltachat/deltachat-desktop#2800

I mildly object the removal of DRI access, because device=all is an accident rather than a deliberate choice.

I wonder how self-explanatory ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT is. Neither the code nor the commit reveals why it's necessary so it could be difficult to assess when it's appropriate to remove it in the future.

But I don't block on those for merging, so feel free to merge.

The flathub validator bot rejects other device rules coexisting with device=all, so the alternative would be removing device=all and breaking qr code scanning in device linking.

I guess a comment linking to electron environment variables documentation and saying the app won't launch under wayland otherwise would be trivial to add.

It is unfortunate that there seems not to be a more specific way to access webcams, like a device=webcams/cameras or a portal that is so mature that it was added to Electron.
