os: Allow for partial connection with `NoListenAll`

Olivier Fourdan requested to merge ofourdan/xserver:xwayland-listen-protocol into master

Xwayland can optionally be socket-activated by the Wayland compositor, in which case it would use only the sockets provided by the compositor.

However, that prevents other transport protocol from working, because when it's given a socket from the Wayland compositor, it would disable all other connections and rely solely on the given socket.

Set partial to a non-zero value initially to hint the XTrans function MakeAllCOTSServerListeners that it's okay if the local connection fails, being already handled by the socket provided by the Wayland compositor.

That allows Xwayland to accept both -listenfd on a socket and -listen on a protocol.
