Patch against the ports tree

Several fixes:

1. Create a lock file in the case of an explicitly requested display even if
"-displayfd" was specified. This is because, in this case, the server creat=
ion
process is essentially the same as when "-displayfd" is not specified. The =
only
difference with the latter case should be that Xorg outputs the passed disp=
lay
to the display FD (only the display selection logic is bypassed).

2. Properly indicate an unexpected problem with link(2), instead of assuming
that a failure always means that the file indeed exists.

3. Workaround for what appears to be a FreeBSD bug (link returns EPERM when
hard linking a file whose permissions are the result of creating a file in a
directory with sticky bit, although creating a separate copy is perfectly
possible). Additional benefit: Simplifies the cumbersome logic, which on PO=
SIX
systems is unnecessary IMHO (initial lock file creation with O_EXCL is enou=
gh
to ensure mutual exclusion).

Again I'm submitting this here, since upstream seems inactive.
