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.
