live.cfg: for GNOME, disable Wayland when we know it won't work.
This works around the gdm autologin bug (mga#20079).

Created attachment 8836 [details] journal from Live DVD boot with gdm debug enabled Testing a Live GNOME DVD with the proprietary nvidia340 driver. As expected, the initial gdm-wayland-session fails and gdm falls back to using a gdm-x-session. But it then goes to the login screen, instead of reattempting the autologin.
