Chrome, Chromium, VSCode, Slack, Signal, Discord, element-desktop,
schildichat.
For the latter two, the feature flag useWayland was removed and a
wrapper script was provided.
Version 5.27.1 is the last version with working Ozone/Wayland support
but we'll have to update to a more recent version soon.
See [0] for more details.

A new symlink is required to fix the following error:

The GPU acceleration still fails (not sure if it worked before) but at least
"signal-desktop --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland"
launches again (without "--disable-gpu"):

(After three GPU process crashes Chromium should automatically fall back
to software rendering.)
Fix#155050 (it only fixes the crashes though, not the underlying
issue, but that's likely all we can do for the moment as other Linux
distributions are affected as well; Ozone/Wayland is just not stable yet)
Thanks to [0] we don't need the LD_PRELOAD hack anymore. Now, SQLCipher
will correctly get loaded without having to preload it. With version
5.23.1 this doesn't work (can be verified via the NixOS VM test).

This partially reverts commit 241c145226.
It embarrassingly included Signal-Desktop changes/tests that it
shouldn't and I somehow noticed it too late... :o Sorry!
This reverts commit 45bd7b39a4.
It's been three months now since the introduction of this hack so we can
finally drop it. All active users should have a re-encrypted DB by now
since Signal-Desktop builds expire after three months.
