wf-recorder instead of wl-screenrec (NVIDIA support for screen recording) (#278)

* use wf-recorder instead of wl-screenrec

wl-screenrec does not support NVIDIA drivers as of now

* install wf-recorder and migration for it

* use wl-screenrec for non-nvidia and wf-recorder otherwise

* useless comment

* only use one of the screen recording features
