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.

Use the upstream fix for glamour issues.

Use evdev xkb rules by default in xwayland [2]

Add x11-drivers/xf86-input-libinput to the list installed by default by
x11-drivers/xorg-drivers.

Fix net/tigervnc-server and emulators/virtualbox-ose

Bump portrevision of all x11 drivers, as well as other ports dependent on
xorg-server.

This represents work by many people over a long period.  These include
wulf, ak, dumbbell, hselasky pete AT nomadlogic DOT org, jbeich, manu,
myself and possibly others (I tried to look through history, but might have
missed people. If so, I am sorry.)

- Install the server setuid by default.  The x11/wrapper/files/wrapper.c code
is already in the server.  I can't even imagine a situation where running an
X server (which is run as root, mind you) is ok, while having a setuid X
server with arguments and environment checking ala wrapper.c is not.  But put
an option in anyway.
- Include the SERVER_PATCHES define needed for the new server ports.

New port: xorg-server taken from X.org release 6.7.0.

Tested only on x86 so far due to problems installing dependencies on build
cluster.  Based on XFree86-4-Server originally, but I decided the history
wasn't worth keeping that much as a lot has been changed.
