input: update ctrl+h to toggle `auto-safe` rather than `auto`
It has been odd that ctrl+h toggles `auto` for hwdecs even though we always recommend people start with `auto-safe`, and `auto` will attempt various hwdecs that can fail so badly we can't fall back to software decoding. With the change to more exhaustively attempt to use hwdecs, it is now easier to get into situations where these fragile hwdecs will get attempted in basic scenarios, like pressing ctrl+h. So it is high time to default to `auto-safe`.
