[OE-core] [PATCH 1/1] x11vnc: fix CAPS_LOCK issues

Currently, pressing CAPS_LOCK on the viewer changes the lock state on
the server and the key will not change the case.

To fix this, use -skip_lockkeys option to ignore all Caps_Lock,
Shift_Lock, Num_Lock, Scroll_Lock keysyms received from viewers, in
order to leave the lock state on the server side unchanged. However, the
keys will appear correctly on the remote side.

 "-gui" & "-rfbport" require "wish" installed, or else x11vnc fails to start.
 Removing these 2 parameters makes x11vnc works well on poky sato image.
 
+Add also -skip_lockkeys option to ignore all Caps_Lock, Shift_Lock, Num_Lock,
+Scroll_Lock keysyms received from viewers, in order to leave the lock state on
+the server side unchanged. Yet, the keys will appear correctly.
