Testcases: Use Xephyr instead of XDummy
Replace the XDummy script with Xephyr. This is done because of some changes in the Xorg server that make XDummy difficult to use. Rename library internal variables and function names to replace "xdummy" with "xserver" to show this change (except for renaming the package and lib file for better git history). Rename the switch `--keep-xdummy-output` to `--keep-xserver-output`. This switch should now be rarely used because Xephyr requires less set up. Replace "xdummy" with "xephyr" in comments and utility help information. Update docs to show the new dependency. fixes #1367next
