xset is used to set various user preference options of the X server.

This release changes the configure script to default to --without-xf86misc,
disabling the build of support for the XFree86-Misc extension and dropping
the dependency on libXxf86misc.

Support for the XFree86-Misc extension was removed in the xserver-1.6.0
release in 2008, so this code is unusable on most systems now.  The
gitlab repo for the libXxf86misc client library was archived in 2018,
ending the maintenance of that library by X.Org.

Anyone who really still wants to build this code can do so by passing
--with-xf86misc to the configure script, but you're on your own if you do.
