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

+  AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org
+
+  The default xorg version has been switched on FreeBSD 10-STABLE and
+  FreeBSD 9-STABLE.
+
+  To upgrade graphics/libGL, graphics/dri and related MESA ports, it is
+  necessary to first remove the old versions of those ports.
+  No special upgrade procedure is needed for xorg ports but it is
+  necessary to recompile all xorg drivers (xf86-*) and other ports that
+  depend on the xserver version, including
+  emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions.  Portrevisions have been bumped
+  where needed, but users of drivers not in the ports tree will need to
+  recompile those.
+
+  If it is important to stay on the old versions, it is possible to
+  specify WITHOUT_NEW_XORG= in /etc/make.conf to get the old xorg
+  distribution.
+
+  For users in need of working console when using KMS drivers (intel and
+  radeon graphics cards) please use the new vt(9) console driver.
+  For more information, see https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics and
+  https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons .
+
+  To update:
+
+  # pkg_delete -f libGL-\* dri-\*
+    or
+  # pkg delete -f libGL dri
+    followed by
+  # portmaster graphics/dri graphics/libGL
+    or
+  # portupgrade graphics/dri graphics/libGL
+    and then
+  # portmaster -a
+    or
+  # portupgrade -a

+  AUTHOR: x11@FreeBSD.org and gnome@FreeBSD.org
+
+  The library version of the above libraries has been brought in line
+  with what upstream expects. To do this all users of these ports need
+  to be rebuilt. Portrevisions have been bumped as a consequence.
+
+  # portmaster -r freetype2 -r libxml2 -r pixman -r freeglut
+  or
+  # portupgrade -rf freetype2 libxml2 pixman freeglut
