Fix fish universal variables in Gnome Wayland session

modify /usr/bin/gnome-session, changing (hardcoding) $SHELL to shell on line 10.

temporary fix for fish-shell/fish-shell#7995 (probably bad but /shrug, universal variables are sort of maybe being removed in the near future anyway, at which point I'll change this)

Fix scaling issues on Gnome Wayland

gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"

Unbind XF86Tools (F13) on Gnome

for some reason the button I have bound to F13 on my mouse opens the Gnome control center/settings by default, with no way to change it outside of dconf/gsettings. quite annoying
