[oe] [PATCH v2] mozjs: fix build failure due to failed X11 configure test

The failure intermittently shows up as follows:

ERROR: This autoconf log indicates errors, it looked at host include and/or library paths while determining system capabilities.
Rerun configure task after fixing this. The path was 'poky/build/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/mozjs/17.0.0-r0/build'
ERROR: Function failed: do_qa_configure
ERROR: Logfile of failure stored in: poky/build/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/mozjs/17.0.0-r0/temp/log.do_configure.8047
ERROR: Task 5 (poky/meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-extended/mozjs/mozjs_17.0.0.bb, do_configure) failed with exit code '1'

The configure log has:

configure:5494: checking for IceConnectionNumber in -lICE
configure:5513: x86_64-poky-linux-gcc  -m64 -march=core2 -mtune=core2 -msse3 -mfpmath=sse --sysroot=poky/build/tmp/sysroots/genericx86-64 -o conftest  -O2 -pipe -g -feliminate-unused-debug-types  -Wl, -O1 -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,--as-needed -L/usr/lib conftest.c -lICE   1>&5
poky/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/libexec/x86_64-poky-linux/gcc/x86_64-poky-linux/4.9.1/ld: warning: library search path "/usr/lib" is unsafe for cross-compilation

Checking build/config/autoconf.mk we find:

X_CFLAGS =  -I/usr/include
X_EXTRA_LIBS =
X_LIBS =  -L/usr/lib

Looking at the configure script, we see these invalid values are output
when the autoconf test for X11 fails.  That test fails in the following
fashion:

configure:4768:27: fatal error: X11/Intrinsic.h: No such file or directory

This header in turn gets put in the sysroot by our build of libxt.  So we
get build fails whenever mozjs is built before libxt.

Aside from the configure test, it doesn't appear that mozjs really has
a hard dependency on libxt in order to compile.  So we can avoid the
problem by simply avoiding the configure test - and here we do that by
looking for X11 in the distro features.

[v2: change depends on libxt to distro features solution]
