### Description
Currently Netbeans does GDK_SCALE=2 if a DPI above 192 is detected. On my
system, this leads to really large fonts and windows. I have set GDK_SCALE=1
which makes the size of NetBeans equal to all other gui components in size
(Using Gnome 44 desktop on Arch).
What I have in mind in the /usr/bin/netbeans shell script:
```shell
# First check if GDB_SCALE was set. If the xrdb command does not exist, no
action will be taken.
if [ -n "$GDK_SCALE" ];
then
echo "GDK_SCALE was set, not overriding: GDK_SCALE=$GDK_SCALE"
elif [ "`command xrdb -query 2> /dev/null | grep Xft.dpi | cut -d
':' -f2 | xargs`" = 192 ]
then
echo "Detected 2x HiDPI scaling in Xft.dpi setting; setting
GDK_SCALE=2"
export GDK_SCALE=2
fi
```
### Use case/motivation
This change allows you to pre-configure a local preference, without
forcefully overriding GDK_SCALE.
