David Maciejak 1f03c13f4d wmaker: improve support for RandR ...

This patch is improving the support for RandR.
It uses version 1.3 released in March 2009.
Most of the support is done in randr.c/randr.h
It is built on top of the mature Xinerama structure
but Xinerama lib is not required.
Like for Xinerama, RandR is now auto enabled if the
library is found at compiled time.

RandR support can be used in 2 modes:
A static mode (which is the default) is to define manually
your setup with external tools like xrandr or arandr,
like for example what Openbox is doing.

A dynamic mode, which is triggered on hotplug events,
like for example what GNOME is doing.
If a new monitor is detected, it will select the best mode
available and add it to the right on the existing monitors.

The mode can be switched with a new option available in WindowMaker
conf file (or via WPrefs expert panel):

HotplugMonitor = NO;
