Rework parsing of CON: and XINIT: commandline options.

Extend the XINIT: launch prefix with two new ones in order to start a window manager before an x11 application is started.

XINIT-WM: will start a window manager without the cursor
XINIT-WMC: will start a window manager with the cursor

This is similar to how the 'x11' backend starts an application, but without additional configuration set in 'backends.cfg'.

Simplified the launching of x11 enabled ports by replacing their explicit launching scripts with a launch command based on the new launch prefix.

Thanks - have reworked the logic (as discussed) and updated the PR. I need to test it though (feel free to check).

Removed the launching scripts for ports that were relying an x11 + window manager by using the new XINIT-WM: prefix added to runcommand.

It looks fine - wasn't familiar with the 'match and continue/restart' for the case options, but it works. The XINIT options are working fine from my testing and zork also seems unaffected by the changes.
