Xext: remove the XF86-BigFont extension

XF86-BigFont lets local clients share font-metrics arrays via SysV shared memory (and compresses them for remote clients) -- a local-only optimization dating back to ancient XFree86. It hasn't been built by default for really long time. Enabling it in our CI immediately exposed that the code has bit-rotted on 7 non-Linux CI lanes (macOS/BSD: including a nonexistent Linux-only header; Solaris: an ARRAY_SIZE redefinition pulled in via its system headers; mingw32: implicit geteuid()/getegid() plus an unused variable). Concrete evidence that this extension currently has no real users exercising it, since none of that breakage was ever noticed. Therefore no practical need for carrying it around any longer.
