x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa: Add patch for ignoring if kernel as a driver

The vesa driver checks if the kernel as a driver attached to the pci device.
This used to work before df10dcefa427 ("devel/libpciaccess: Update to 0.17")
because we had a patch in libpciaccess that always said that the kernel didn't
had any driver attached. This is obviously not a correct way.
The problem is that vgapci is always attached for us so for pci video devices
we always have a driver attached.
Ignoring the check in xf86-video-vesa seems the best way for us.

Update xorg x11 servers to 1.20.7

Update xorg x11 servers to 1.20.7.  This updates x11-servers/xorg-server,
xephyr, xorg-dmx, xorg-nestserver, xorg-vbserver and xwayland.

Enable the UDEV backend by default, instead of the DEVD backend, for
autoconfiguration of input devices on FreeBSD 12 and later.
FreeBSD 11 lacks the needed support in base and will keep on using the DEVD
backend.
Support for the HAL backend is dropped completely, it has been deprecated
for a long time.
Update and improve the DEVD backend.
Add a pkg message about sysctl configuration that might be needed when using
UDEV.

Switch to xorgproto instead of individual packages

Upstream used to distribute protocol headers as separate packages, but has
decided to merge those to a common package, named xorgproto.  This update
tracks that change.

* Add a new port, x11/xorgproto, with are protocol headers for xorg.
* Hook the new protocol port to the build and to infrastructure in
  bsd.xorg.mk.
* Update all ports with a dependency on any of the old *proto packages to
  instead depend on xorgproto.  Bump portrevision.
* Delete the old *proto packages, update MOVED.

x11-servers/xorg-server: Update to 1.14

The X.Org server has been updated to 1.14. The changes it brings are described
in a post on the Graphics team blog:
http://blogs.freebsdish.org/graphics/2014/11/19/xserver-1-14-update-ready/

The most noticable change is the DEVD input device autodetection backend
which is enabled by default, replacing the HAL backend. The keyboard
layout configuration must be migrated from HAL's .fdi files to X.Org
files. The procedure is explained in the post mentionned above.

Several ports were removed with this update, mainly because they are not
compatible with the X.Org server anymore:
    o  nvidia-driver-71
    o  nvidia-driver-96

tijl search for other commits by this committer
When linking a library libA with a library libB using libtool, if libB.la
exists, libtool will add all libraries libB.la refers to (dependency_libs
field) to the linker command line and store them in the dependency_libs
field of libA.la.  So everything that subsequently links with libA will also
link to these extra libraries.  This causes too much overlinking.

This commit modifies Mk/Uses/libtool.mk so it empties the dependency_libs
field in .la libraries during staging.  However, because .la libraries have
very limited use when dependency_libs is empty it makes sense to completely
remove them during staging.

So with this commit USES=libtool is modified to remove .la libraries and a
new form (USES=libtool:keepla) is introduced in case they need to be kept
(dependency_libs is still emptied).

NEW XORG ON FREEBSD 9-STABLE AND 10-STABLE

This update switches over to use the new xorg stack by default on FreeBSD 9
and 10 stable, on osversions where vt(9) is available.
It is still possible to use the old stack by specifying WITHOUT_NEW_XORG in
/etc/make.conf .
FreeBSD 8-STABLE and released versions of FreeBSD still use
the old version.
A package repository with binary packages for new xorg will
be available soon.

This patch also contains updates of libxcb and related ports, pixman, as well

- Please welcome Xorg 7.5.2

       The Xorg Team is pleased to announce the next round of Xorg updates.
       The team created a new flag called WITH_NEW_XORG that users can include
       in /etc/make.conf. This was created for the intel KMS work being done
       althouthough It probably works for other chips. Unfortunately, the intel
       KMS driver will only work on FreeBSD 9(RELENG|STABLE) or 10/HEAD users.
       Older version of FreeBSD will not be supported. Intel users will need
       to patch their source manually with Konstantin?s KMS kernel patch to get
       the newer chips to work. Please carefully read UPDATING entry.

Changes:

        - libdrm 2.4.31 (including KMS support)
        - mesa 7.11.2
        - xorg-server 1.10.6
        - a lot of new Graphic Drivers.

    I would like to thank:

         Koop Mast
         Eitan Adler
         Niclas Zeising
         and all helpers and testers from x11@.

- Update X.org ports to 7.4+ (few ports are more recent than the katamari).
- Bump PORTREVISION for all ports depending on libglut since the shlib
version number went from 4 to 3.
- Bump PORTREVISION for all ports depending on libXaw as libXaw.so.8 isn't
installed anymore.
- Couple of ports fixes (mostly missing xorg components added to USE_XORG).
