[OE-core] [PATCH] x86-base.inc: use xf86-video-modesettings as default xserver

It looks like Fedora doesn't patch the -intel driver anymore, instead 
they patch xserver to fiddle with the defaults.

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/xorg-x11-server/c/ee515e44b07e37689abf48cf2fffb41578f3bc1d?branch=master

Given the comment and commit description, I'm guessing that list is 
everything older than gen4 (haswell) not already defaulting to something 
else.

I can't find any attempts to upstream the patch... Also, given the 
different formatting, what would be the proper way to bring this into 
OE? Rewrite the commit message, leave Author field intact and add a link?

Thanks,
Cal
