Wayland: Fix window opacity on older systems

Browse Source 
On systems lacking the EGL_EXT_present_opaque extension, some
compositors treat any buffer with an alpha channel as per-pixel
transparent.

This commit ignores any EGLConfig with an alpha channel if the extension
is missing and the window is created with GLFW_TRANSPARENT_FRAMEBUFFER
set to false.

This is technically not a breaking change since GLFW_ALPHA_BITS is not
a hard constraint, but it is still going to inconvenience anyone using
the framebuffer alpa channel to store other kinds of data.

Related to #1895

@subsubsection wayland_alpha_34 Frambuffer may lack alpha channel on older Wayland systems
On Wayland, when creating an EGL context on a machine lacking the new
`EGL_EXT_present_opaque` extension, the @ref GLFW_ALPHA_BITS window hint will be
ignored and the framebuffer will have no alpha channel. This is because some
Wayland compositors treat any buffer with an alpha channel as per-pixel
transparent.
If you want a per-pixel transparent window, see the
[GLFW_TRANSPARENT_FRAMEBUFFER](@ref GLFW_TRANSPARENT_FRAMEBUFFER_hint) window
hint.
