Stop pinning Sway output mode in dev config

Removes the hardcoded `output * mode 1920x1080` from the development Sway config and updates related docs to match. Dev sessions now rely on each output’s preferred mode at scale `1`, which better follows current display size (including VMware autofit behavior), while still documenting how to set a mode manually when needed.

### Output / resolution
The development config uses scale `1` and requests `1920x1080` when that mode is advertised. If it is not, Sway keeps the preferred mode. This is a VM convenience, not a production requirement.
The development config uses scale `1` and does not pin a resolution. Sway uses the output's preferred mode, which follows the current display size (including VMware Autofit Guest).
