🦟 Bug fix
Summary
More and more users are running into the same issue on Wayland. We recently updated the troubleshooting guide for Wayland in https://gazebosim.org/docs/latest/troubleshooting/#wayland-issues. This PR just does the step described in the guide for the users. It sets Qt to use the xcb plugin if a) wayland is detected and b) only if the user has not explicitly set the
QT_QPA_PLATFORM
env var.This is more of a quality of life fix to improve user experience and save them from having to go through the troubleshooting process.
Similar fix was done in rviz: ros2/rviz#1253
