stop specializing on argument types of display (#28616)

there is no real advantage in specializing on the argument types
for display since it goes through a quite complicated machinery
of trying to find applicable displays.

Before:
julia> let
        @time precompile(Tuple{typeof(Base.Multimedia.display), Int32})
        @time precompile(Tuple{typeof(Base.Multimedia.display), Vector{Int}})
        @time precompile(Tuple{typeof(Base.Multimedia.display), Float64})
        @time precompile(Tuple{typeof(Base.Multimedia.display), Symbol})
       end

  0.039003 seconds (90.20 k allocations: 4.758 MiB)
  0.030826 seconds (61.08 k allocations: 3.066 MiB)

After:
julia> let
        @time precompile(Tuple{typeof(Base.Multimedia.display), Int32})
        @time precompile(Tuple{typeof(Base.Multimedia.display), Vector{Int}})
        @time precompile(Tuple{typeof(Base.Multimedia.display), Float64})
        @time precompile(Tuple{typeof(Base.Multimedia.display), Symbol})
       end
