[PATCH v2] Workaround conflict between Solaris <sys/list.h> & Xorg "list.h" definitions

<sys/ipc_impl.h> includes the Solaris <sys/list.h> but doesn't use any
definitions from it unless _KERNEL is defined for building a kernel module,
so we can simply fake its header guard to skip its inclusion in Xext/shm.c

<sys/proc.h> also includes it, but we don't actually need anything from
that header to be included, so we can just move it into the skip on Solaris
list in xf86_OSlib.h

Changed since v1:
 - Added explanations of what & why this is being done
 - Removed list_t typedefs in shm.c, since we don't actually need them

While I appreciate Jamey's feedback on making this cleaner, the only cleaner
thing I can see to do is break the Xorg list API by renaming it to avoid
conflicts with OS-provided list API's, and I didn't want to do that
unilaterally for just this one issue.

The xf86_OSlib.h change does suggest that a cleanup to consider for the
next merge window would be to drop the SVR3 and non-Solaris SVR4 support,
now that the SCO ports have gone defunct.  (SCO & Solaris were the only
SysV variants supported since the current X.Org took over, and the SCO
port was abandoned several years ago and mostly removed from the X server
last year.)
