[Wine] wine dpi too large

[Vincent Povirk]

I know of at least one app that breaks in environments with a
non-default dpi setting. This isn't necessarily Wine's problem (and
could perhaps be fixed by making old windows versions override the dpi
setting?), but it might not make sense for Wine to change the default
until it becomes normal for Windows users to do so.
