We should document the use of virtual screens and wayvnc to support sidecar VNC-as-output screens. This should already work, but would benefit from a FAQ entry and/or an example script.

Split from #112

Probable steps to make it work for sway:

  1. Run swaymsg create_output
  2. Wait for the output to be created and configure it with the proper resolution and position in sway, and record the output name (will be /HEADLESS-\d+/)
  3. Run wayvnc --output $OUTPUT...
  4. For sway 1.8 and later, delete the output via swaymsg output $OUTPUT unplug

Other compositors need instructions too.
