Unless we explicitly disable WebRender with gfx.webrender.force-disabled, we should make layers.acceleration.force-enabled prefer WebRender over OpenGL. The latter never shipped and isn't supported, while the former will eventually be rolled out to as many users as we are able to. We'll start with nightly.

Since the OpenGL compositor is not supported on Linux, if users want
acceleration, we should prefer WebRender. Note that one can still force
disable WebRender to get OpenGL compositing with
gfx.webrender.force-disabled set to true.

I don't want to land this until I'm certain the NVIDIA suspend/resume issues are resolved.
