SDL: Removed SDL_GetDisplayDPI()

From 824b9b0a58b39305c94de0ac37a7fcca634d6d55 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Sam Lantinga <[EMAIL REDACTED]>
Date: Wed, 8 Feb 2023 15:07:13 -0800
Subject: [PATCH] Removed SDL_GetDisplayDPI()

This function wasn't consistently correct across platforms and devices.

If you want the UI scale factor, you can use display_scale in the structure returned by SDL_GetDesktopDisplayMode(). If you need an approximate DPI, you can multiply this value times 160 on iPhone and Android, and 96 on other platforms.
