profiles: mask >=gui-libs/egl-wayland-1.1.14 again

Problems with firefox that led to masking 1.1.14 seem
solved with recent firefox+1.1.15, but that doesn't
seem to be the end of issues, let's keep it masked for
a while still.

Alternatively could try __NV_DISABLE_EXPLICIT_SYNC=1
but it is currently unclear if this really solves all
issues.

+# >=1.1.14 enables usage of explicit sync (with >=nvidia-drivers-560
+# and compositors that supports like kwin-6), which currently seems
+# to be causing too many problems ranging from application crashes
+# and potential VRAM leaking (even with the fixes in 1.1.15) and may
+# be better left masked for the time being. It can hwoever solve
+# flicking/stutter issues on some setups so users may want to unmask
+# if heavily affected (bug #937773).
