WAYFIRE_SOCKET will be inherited in nested sessions if the parent has it set and the ipc plugin is disabled in the nested instance. Unset the environment variable explicitly when wayfire starts, to avoid confused ipc clients.

As discussed on IRC, it is not Wayfire's job to unset unwanted environmental variables from the parent compositor (same would apply to DISPLAY if Xwayland is not enabled in the child, or any dbus/session variables, etc.).
