Rebuild VirtualGL 2.4 from source with -DVGL_FAKEXCB=1.

This will be automatic in the next major release, but since the issue 
was discovered after 2.4 went into beta, I felt it best to isolate the 
new code.  Furthermore, libxcb is a more rapidly-changing API/ABI than 
Xlib or GLX, so an XCB faker built for one platform won't work on all 
platforms.  We are going to have to develop some sort of dynamic loading 
mechanism for it, which will take some time.  For now, please build your 
own custom version for whichever server platform you need to support.
