Peter Hutterer 3af4352a08 Disable font server connections by default
At this point, allowing X Font Server connections just introduces us to
possible security issues since the code effectively trusts any font
server and few checks are in place.

Since font servers also haven't been used for ages, let's disable
them by default. Use-cases that require them will have to pass
+fontserverconnections on the commandline and/or set the corresponding
ServerFlags option.

The tests are a bit hacky: Debian builds libXfont2 with --disable-fc so
we need to cater for the case where the X server enables fontserver support
but libXfont then blocks it and we still need to treat this as success.
