Disable EGLStream Backend in Mutter and KWin builds
Nvidia already support GBM in newest drivers.
 
EGLStream not contains all capabilities and can contain wayland support problems, the better is for Nvidia users just use GBM
based Backends in compositors build releases.
 
Releases modifications:
 
Mutter: Build without EGLStream support:
Will be a PR Soon.
 
Kwin: Build without EGLStream support:
Will be a PR soon in Fedora RPMs Soon.
