[PATCH app/xauth 1/2] Merge only entries with equal dpy and protoname.

Merging two lists, or adding entry a into list acts unexpectedly if the list
contains FamilyWild or entry with an empty display numbers. For example:
> xauth list
#ffff#6f70656e737573652d74756d626c6577656564#: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 1500d80327733252cc42ba469138a259
> xauth add test/unix:2 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 aabbccddeeff00112233445566778899
> xauth list
test/unix:2 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 aabbccddeeff00112233445566778899
This is because merge_entries compares entries using `match_auth`, which
follows the same rules as XauGetBestAuthByAddr. Following these rules is good
when filtering the output of `xauth list`, but for merging we should compare
for equality. It used to be done that way before commit 1555fff4. That commit
changed it to improve the `xauth list` behavior, but did not seem consider the
impact on merge.
