bug#68842: 29.2; implicit declaration of function 'XOpenDisplay'

["Ulrich Müller" <ulm@gentoo.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5125 bytes --]

configure warns about an implicit function declaration for XOpenDisplay,
which in turn triggers a QA warning in Gentoo's package manager.

The relevant snippet from configure.log is:

configure:14158: checking whether X on GNU/Linux needs -b to link
configure:14175: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -o conftest  -march=native -ggdb -O2 -pipe     -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed  conftest.c -lX11   >&5 
conftest.c: In function 'main':
conftest.c:125:1: warning: implicit declaration of function 'XOpenDisplay' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
  125 | XOpenDisplay ("foo");
      | ^~~~~~~~~~~~
configure:14175: $? = 0
configure:14223: result: no

Attached patch fixes the problem for me. Is it OK to merge it to the
emacs-29 branch? (In master, the test in question was removed altogether
by commit 6c1413d5ef0d1fea639b0d8c83a0c0065d99359b.)
