Purpose of this PR:

Use a more permissive QT_QPA_PLATFORM variable value for Dolphin to also support Wayland in the future.

How to Test:

Launch Dolphin on Linux. The version check should still work and Dolphin should not crash due to a broken QT_QPA_PLATFORM variable.

What Has Been Changed:

The QT_QPA_PLATFORM override on Linux has been changed from xcb to wayland;xcb.

A rabbit checks the platform string,
“Wayland, XCB,” it sings.
The probe and launch now set the same,
A little change in Qt’s name.
It hops away beneath the moon,
With carrots for a testing tune.

remove the embedded single quotes so env receives wayland;xcb as the fallback
