DOCS/man: remove "Linux desktop issues" section
This section has no reason to exist anymore because:
- No "desktop issues" sections exist for other platforms, and all other
Linux-specific issues are represented as notes for options. This section
only addressed one specific issue.
- This section was shortened significantly with commit
2c46ae8ea3d9ae32b52eae9092f0517d69dcedbc, so there is no need for
this to be a separate section anymore.
- This section was shortened again with commit
d5e681e95df759a4df8608cc773931e3f97c9460, when the original rationale
behind this section became outdated because GNOME has implemented the
idle inhibit protocol.
The historical info is moved to the documentation of --stop-screensaver.
