Introduced a new enum `CaptureMode` with options `PRE_CAPTURE` and
`SILENT_CAPTURE` to enhance startup speed on Linux desktop environments
that support transparent windows.
- `PRE_CAPTURE`: The classic way where a screenshot is taken before the
main window opens, setting the screenshot as the
background in the main window.
- `SILENT_CAPTURE`: Opens the main window immediately without a
screenshot background, using transparency to show
the actual content behind.
Added a new attribute `capture_mode` to the main window, initialized
with the return value of the `window_mode()` function. The
`window_mode()` function determines the supported `CaptureMode`,
preferring `SILENT_CAPTURE` when available, otherwise defaulting to
`PRE_CAPTURE`.
This change improves startup speed, particularly on Wayland systems with
high-resolution monitors. Nice side effect: the cursor is no longer in
the way when making a selection and the image looks a little clearer.
Updated the main window's behavior and documentation to reflect these changes.
