[PATCH:xserver 1/3] Xorg.man: move XLOCAL details to X(7) man page instead

These settings affect clients, not server, so belong there, next to
the information about how to set $DISPLAY.

-.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
-For operating systems that support local connections other than Unix
-Domain sockets (SVR3 and SVR4), there is a compiled-in list specifying
-the order in which local connections should be attempted.  This list
-can be overridden by the
-.I XLOCAL
-environment variable described below.  If the display name indicates a
-best-choice connection should be made (e.g.
-.BR :0.0 ),
-each connection mechanism is tried until a connection succeeds or no
-more mechanisms are available.  Note: for these OSs, the Unix Domain
-socket connection is treated differently from the other local connection
-types.  To use it the connection must be made to
-.BR unix:0.0 .

-The
-.I XLOCAL
-environment variable should contain a list of one more

-NAMED
-PTS

-which represent SVR4 Named Streams pipe, Old-style USL Streams pipe,
-SCO XSight Streams pipe, and ISC Streams pipe, respectively.  You can
-select a single mechanism (e.g.
-.IR XLOCAL=NAMED ),
-or an ordered list (e.g. \fIXLOCAL="NAMED:PTS:SCO"\fP).
-his variable overrides the compiled-in defaults.  For SVR4 it is
-recommended that
-.I NAMED
-be the first preference connection.  The default setting is
-.IR PTS:NAMED:ISC:SCO .

-To globally override the compiled-in defaults, you should define (and

-.B sh

-.BR ksh )
-.I XLOCAL
-globally.  If you use startx(1) or xinit(1), the definition should be
