Enabling IME by default can cause problems when the player is
expecting keybinds and not text input. Windows IME implementation
mitigates this by switching IME to alphanumeric mode,
but this is impossible on Wayland with the text input protocol.
Disable it by default and add a note to recommend enabling IME only on
demand, like console.lua.
This is useful for text input in, for example, console.lua. Each
character in the commit string gets turned into an mpv key press.
Pre-edit strings are not handled, since there's currently no good way to
handle that or make it useful to text input scripts. Like win32, which I
tested in wine, another limitation is that the composition window is
always positioned at the top left of the window, since we cannot get
useful positioning hints from mpv scripts. It allows the composition
window to be within the window and avoids obstructing the console
prompt.
This can be enabled/disabled with --input-ime=<yes|no> (default: yes).
