[OE-core] [PATCH 3/3] qemux86-64: support X11 when QEMU is emulating a different GPU than vmware

QEMU is capable of emulating four different VGA adapters: cirrus, std, vmware,
and QXL. By adding the cirrus and fbdev X.Org drivers to the qemux86-64 image,
the image can be made to launch an X server on when cirrus and std are chosen,
in addition to just vmware. (The build of QEMU in OE-Core appears to have QXL
disabled, meaning a driver for it is unnecessary.)

The runqemu script now allows the choice of emulated VGA adapter to be
specified manually, so it's important that qemux86-64 supports any
configuration the user might choose without requiring the image to be rebuilt.

In addition to adding the two extra drivers to the qemux86-64 image, a section
specifying the driver to use is deleted from the image's xorg.conf, allowing
the X server to automatically select the most appropriate driver. Testing
shows that it does always pick the correct one.
