Subject: [PATCH 3/7] os: Add -displayfd option
This option specifies a file descriptor in the launching process. X
will scan for an available display number and write that number back to
the launching process, at the same time as SIGUSR1 generation. This
means display managers don't need to guess at available display numbers.
As a consequence, if X fails to start when using -displayfd, it's not
because the display was in use, so there's no point in retrying the X
launch on a higher display number.
