Subject: [PATCH] river: Change to swaybg for stable wallpaper setting

Multi-output wallpaper setting was never particularly stable using swww.

Using swaybg we can directly call on the 'description' of the outputs
like we do in kanshi. This makes the interface way more stable than
hoping that 'DP-3' and or 'DP-5' are discovered first. Thus, we default
to use swaybg and my screens, but if the program is not found on the
system we can still fall back to swww.
