[PATCH v6 RFC 01/10] ephyr: allow passing explictly host X server display number and/or authorization file path

[Laércio de Sousa]

This patch introduces two command-line options for Xephyr:

  * -host-display: set Xephyr DISPLAY environment variable
                   to host X server display number
  * -host-auth:    set Xephyr XAUTHORITY environment variable
                   to host X server authorization file path

These options are particularly useful when Xephyr is launched
directly from display manager, because DISPLAY and/or XAUTHORITY
environment variables may not be set when it's launched.
