QEMU is capable of emulating four different VGA adapters: cirrus, std, vmware,
and QXL. By adding the cirrus and fbdev X.Org drivers to the qemux86 image,
the image can be made to launch an X server on when cirrus and std are chosen,
in addition to just vmware. (The build of QEMU in OE-Core appears to have QXL
disabled, meaning a driver for it is unnecessary.)

The runqemu script now allows the choice of emulated VGA adapter to be
specified manually, so it's important that qemux86 supports any configuration
the user might choose without requiring the image to be rebuilt.

In addition to adding the two extra drivers to the qemux86 image, a section
specifying the driver to use is deleted from the image's xorg.conf, allowing
the X server to automatically select the most appropriate driver. Testing
shows that it does always pick the correct one.
