passmenu: add support for wayland
Use a similar detection mechanism to pass itself.
On wayland use:
* dmenu-wl instead of dmenu, an (almost) drop-in replacement
* ydotool instead of xdotool, a uinput-based replacement for
xdotool. It is not as feature-complete, but probably the
simplest (or only?) way to add the --type functionality to
passmenu on wayland.
