x11/xdm: Use $LOCALBASE/etc/xdm/Xservers as base for Xserver args

Hard coding Xserver args forces people to invoke xdm through init
by placing an entry in /etc/ttys when Xserver args different from
those hardcoded in rc.d/xdm are desired. Instead glean arguments
from $LOCALBASE/etc/xdm/Xservers, defaulting to the hardcoded
entry if none are found for :0.

x11/xdm: allow X server arguments to be set in Xservers

This patch changes the rc.d script so that:

1- The xdm_tty variable is set to 'default'. This disable the override
and allows xdm to be configured the normal way. xdm uses the ttyv8
terminal by default anyway.

2- The server arguments are only overridden if the user explicitly
specify a value for xdm_tty.

x11/xdm: fix build with clang 16

Clang 16 has a new error about incompatible function types, which shows
up when x11/xdm:

  greet.c:451:20: error: incompatible function pointer types assigning to 'void (*)(void)' from 'int (*)(void)' [-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types]
      __xdm_setgrent = dlfuncs->_setgrent;

This is because it assumes setgrent(3) returns int, which it has not
done since a very long time.

x11/xdm: Fix generation of etc/X11/xdm/Xresources

By some stupidity of autotools, spacing for a sed regexp used to generate
Xresources gets broken, and the sed command doen't match as it should.  This
results in an Xresources file with an extra '#endif /* XPM */', which breaks
the file.
Patch Makefile.in to fix the regexp and have Xresources generated properly.

x11/xdm: minor fixes

When testing, the rc script worked fine on my machine with no extra ttys,
but when on a default installation with several vtys it conflicts with ttyv1.
This script defaults to activating on ttyv8 as this is the one xdm usually
is on by default and is the usual Ctrl+Alt+F9 for X.

The FreeBSD x11@ and graphics team proudly presents a zeising, kwm production, with help from dumbbell, bdrewery:

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
as some drivers and utilities.

Bump portrevisions for xf86-* ports, as well as virtualbox-ose-additions due
to xserver version change.

Apart from these updates, the way shared libraries are handled has been
changed for all xorg ports, as well as libxml2 and freetype, which means
ltverhack is gone and as a consequence shared libraries have been bumped.
The plan is that this change will make library bumps less likely in the
future.
All affected ports have had their portrevisions bumped as a consequence of
this.

Fix some issues where WITH_NEW_XORG weren't detected properly on CURRENT.

Update instructions, hardware support, and more notes can be found on
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics
