    Eliminate calls back to X server or font server functions by name (v4) · 135fb032

    This eliminates the weak symbol adventures and makes all of the calls
    back to the X server or Font server go through a table of functions
    instead, clarifying the required API.
    
    As this is a rather major change to the API for the library, it now
    installs itself as libXfont2 instead of libXfont, and the package
    config file is now xfont2.pc.
    
    All of the installed headers remain the same as the original library;
    there's now a new include file, libxfont2.h, which defines the X
    server and Font server interfaces.
    
    This moves util/atom.c to stubs/atom.c and reformats that file, hence
    the diff being larger than it would otherwise be.
    
    v2: Rename to libXfont2 instead of libXfont_2 as suggested by Emil Velikov
        Fix whitespace in stubs/atom.c, which was moved from util/
    
    v3: Remove select masks from API. Expose single 'font_init' function
        for all library initialization.
    
    v4: Change name of distributed tarballs to libXfont2 as well
