feat(vdisplay/mutter): pin the client's refresh by default; drop PUNKTFUNK_MUTTER_VIRTUAL_REFRESH

The >60 Hz virtual-monitor path (RecordVirtual "modes" with the client's exact WxH@Hz)
was gated behind PUNKTFUNK_MUTTER_VIRTUAL_REFRESH, default OFF, after a high-refresh
virtual CRTC SIGSEGV'd gnome-shell on session teardown. That crash was since fixed by
stopping the screencast before any monitor reconfig, so the gate is dead weight — and a
silent footgun: every non-headless GNOME client was capped at Mutter's PipeWire-derived
60 Hz unless they knew the hidden flag.

Make it the default: the custom-mode path now runs whenever mode.refresh_hz > 60 (≤60 Hz
stays byte-identical to before — Mutter's 60 Hz default is already correct), and the
virtual_refresh_enabled() env read is removed. Docs updated (configuration.md env table,
vrr-plan.md reference).
