[kwin_wayland] Add config option to start an X Server

KWin_Wayland still needs an X-Server. To simplify the development
setup the required X-Server can be started through a command line
argument together with KWin. Unfortunately the command line arguments
processing needs to be done by hand as QCommandLineParser only allows
processing after QApplication is created which requires the started
X Server.

The nested X-Server is started by forking the application and using
execlp to load the binary. In addition a pipe is created to allow the
X-Server to write the display number to once it's ready to connect and
by that KWin is ready to create the QApplication.
