This eliminates the weak symbol adventures and makes all of the calls
back to the X server or Font server go through a table of functions
instead, clarifying the required API.
As this is a rather major change to the API for the library, it now
installs itself as libXfont2 instead of libXfont, and the package
config file is now xfont2.pc.
All of the installed headers remain the same as the original library;
there's now a new include file, libxfont2.h, which defines the X
server and Font server interfaces.
This moves util/atom.c to stubs/atom.c and reformats that file, hence
the diff being larger than it would otherwise be.
v2: Rename to libXfont2 instead of libXfont_2 as suggested by Emil Velikov
Fix whitespace in stubs/atom.c, which was moved from util/
v3: Remove select masks from API. Expose single 'font_init' function
for all library initialization.
v4: Change name of distributed tarballs to libXfont2 as well

Weak symbols on PE platforms do not work the same way as on ELF
platforms, hence we have been unable to have a fully functional shared
libXfont until now. This patch works around these issues so that we
can fix that.
In summary, only when compiling shared libraries on NO_WEAK_SYMBOLS
platforms, when the first stub is called, the invoking program is first
checked to determine if it exports the stubbed functions. Then, for
every stub call, if the function is exported by the loader, it is called
instead of the stub code.
serverClient and serverGeneration are data pointers, and therefore are
replaced by getter functions. ErrorF is variadic, so the override is
routed through VErrorF instead. FatalError has no va_list equivalent,
but it is not actually used in libXfont and therefore should be safe to
remove.
This requires all X servers to export their symbols, which requires
forthcoming patches for hw/xwin and xfs; the other xservers (including
tigervnc) already do this via LD_EXPORT_SYMBOLS_FLAG.

when present.
