Bump libxfont version to 1.5.3 and libxfont2 version to 2.0.2 in order to
eliminate CVE-2017-13720 and CVE-2017-13722 vulnerabilities.

In the PatternMatch function in fontfile/fontdir.c in libXfont through 1.5.2
and 2.x before 2.0.2, an attacker with access to an X connection can cause
a buffer over-read during pattern matching of fonts, leading to information
disclosure or a crash (denial of service). This occurs because '\0'
characters are incorrectly skipped in situations involving ? characters.

In the pcfGetProperties function in bitmap/pcfread.c in libXfont through 1.5.2
and 2.x before 2.0.2, a missing boundary check (for PCF files) could be used
by local attackers authenticated to an Xserver for a buffer over-read, for
information disclosure or a crash of the X server.
