Add an xauthority parameter and use it in the startup script.
Apparently on some systems the X authentication cookie is not stored in
~/.Xauthority but in some dynamic location pointed to by the XAUTHORITY
environment variable. The environment variable therefore needs to be set
in the PulseAudio daemon environment in order to have access to the X
server from the PulseAudio daemon, but the variable is not necessarily
set when starting PulseAudio. For example, systemd starts PulseAudio
outside the X session. The start-pulseaudio-x11 script is run in the
X session, so it has the environment variable available, and can pass it
to the X modules, which then can set the variable in the daemon
environment.

Based on patch by Alexander Kurtz <kurtz.alex@googlemail.com>
This removes the symdef header generation m4 magic in favour of a
simpler macro method, allowing us to skip one unnecessary build step
while moving to meson, and removing an 11 year old todo!
FSF addresses used in PA sources are no longer valid and rpmlint
generates numerous warnings during packaging because of this.
This patch changes all FSF addresses to FSF web page according to
the GPL how-to: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html

This commit mostly converts the X11 handling to XCB. There are still
some uses of XLib to deal with the X11 session handling modules, however all
client-side code should now be free of XLib and thus this should fix Bug #799
Note that this removes the screen-based changes by Leszek Koltunski
in 65e80, however this will be restored in due course.
