 Fixes ArcticaProject/nx-libs#296.

 Inspired by the following X.org commit. Other than X.org, we will continue
 support for building nx-libs against libXfont1 for a while.

 commit 05a793f5b3c40747d5a92a076def7f4fb673c7e7
 Author: Keith Packard &lt;keithp@keithp.com&gt;
 Date:   Tue Sep 1 18:50:55 2015 -0700

    dix: Switch to the libXfont2 API (v2)

    This new libXfont API eliminates exposing internal X server symbols to
    the font library, replacing those with a struct full of the entire API
    needed to use that library.

    v2: Use libXfont2 instead of libXfont_2

    os: Add a mechanism to prevent creating any listen sockets

    A socket-activated server will receive its listening sockets from the
    parent process and should not create its own sockets.  This patch
    introduces a NoListen flag that can be set by a DDX to prevent
    the server from creating the sockets.  When NoListen is enabled, we
    also disable the server lock checking, since the parent process is
    responsible for checking the lock before picking the display name and
    creating the sockets.

    os: Add -displayfd option

    This option specifies a file descriptor in the launching process.  X
    will scan for an available display number and write that number back to
    the launching process, at the same time as SIGUSR1 generation.  This
    means display managers don't need to guess at available display numbers.
    As a consequence, if X fails to start when using -displayfd, it's not
    because the display was in use, so there's no point in retrying the X
    launch on a higher display number.

    Remove non-smart scheduler. Don't require setitimer.

    This allows the server to call GetTimeInMillis() after each request is
    processed to avoid needing setitimer. -dumbSched now turns off the
    setitimer.

    Keep SIGALRM restart flag after Popen

    Commit 94ab7455 added SA_RESTART to the SIGALRM handler.  However, the
    Popen code tears down and recreates the SIGALRM handler via OsSignal(),
    and this flag is dropped at this time.

    Clean the code to use just a single codepath for creating this signal
    handler, always applying SA_RESTART.

    Allow system call restarts upon signal interruption

    The X server frequently deals with SIGIO and SIGALRM interruptions.
    If process execution is inside certain blocking system calls
    when these signals arrive, e.g. with the kernel blocked on
    a contended semaphore, the system calls will be interrupted.

    Some system calls are automatically restartable (the kernel re-executes
    them with the same parameters once the signal handler returns) but
    only if the signal handler allows it.

    Set SA_RESTART on the signal handlers to enable this convenient
    behaviour.

    Don't frob timers unless SmartSchedule is running

 commit 2338d5c9914e2a43c3a4f7ee0f4355ad0a1ad9e7
 Author: Arjan van de Ven &lt;arjan@linux.intel.com&gt;

    reduce wakeups from smart scheduler

    The smart scheduler itimer currently always fires after each request
    (which in turn causes the CPU to wake out of idle, burning precious
    power). Rather than doing this, just stop the timer before going into
    the select() portion of the WaitFor loop. It's a cheap system call, and
    it will only get called if there's no more commands batched up from the
    active fd.

    This change also allows some of the functions to be simplified;
    setitimer() will only fail if it's passed invalid data, and we don't do
    that... so make it void and remove all the conditional code that deals
    with failure.

    The change also allows us to remove a few variables that were used for
    housekeeping between the signal handler and the main loop.

 **Note**: The above change also required ABI changes in hw/nxagent/.

    So, like, checking return codes of system calls (signal, etc) is good.
    Also, only restore an old signal handler if one was actually set
    (prevents the server from dying on OS X).

 Date:   Tue Sep 11 11:37:06 2007 -0400

    Ignore - not just block - SIGALRM around Popen()/Pclose().

    Because our "popen" implementation uses stdio, and because nobody's stdio
    library is capable of surviving signals, we need to make absolutely sure
    that we hide the SIGALRM from the smart scheduler.  Otherwise, when you
    open a menu in openoffice, and it recompiles XKB to deal with the
    accelerators, and you popen xkbcomp because we suck, then the scheduler
    will tell you you're taking forever doing something stupid, and the
    wait() code will get confused, and input will hang and your CPU usage
    slams to 100%.  Down, not across.

 Adopting an exact copy of os/oscolor.c from X.org leads to this compiler warning:

 ```
 oscolor.c:844:1: warning: string length ‘7614’ is greater than the length ‘4095’ ISO C99 compilers are required to support [-Woverlength-strings]
 };
 ^
 ```

 This will be address later in coordination with X.org.

 Note: there is a tiny change in oscolor.c as we ship it. The original X.org file includes &lt;X11/keysym.h&gt; which seems
 unneeded. We drop that one line from oscolor.c.

 Fixes ArcticaProject/nx-libs#259.
