Convert most of remaining ports that depend on xorg-libraries to
modular xorg.

- supply corresponding USE_XORG for all imake-using ports that need it
- USE_IMAKE no longer implies USE_XLIB in absence of USE_XORG
- retire USE_X_PREFIX which is not really used anywhere after the
  above change
- a few minor nits like whitespace and SF macro

[ patch ] sysutils/roottail: add extra patch

        Add an optional patch for root-tail. This patch replaces
        the standart root-tail code for finding root window with
        the better one, written by Johannes Jordan and Robin Hogan,
        which allows root-tail to work with some desktop environments,
        xfce4 for example.
