Adds libXext, the X11 common extensions library — the one remaining gap in pantry's otherwise-complete X.org client stack.

From-source via the standard X.org autotools flow, mirroring the sibling x.org libraries (libXfixes / libXrender / libXrandr). Depends only on libX11 (x.org/x11) and xorgproto (x.org/protocol).

(Surfaced while packaging PyQt5 #13064: the manylinux Qt wheel dlopens libXext among the rest of the x.org stack.)

X11 common extensions library -- the one remaining gap in pantry's
X.org client stack. From-source autotools, structurally identical to
the sibling x.org libs (xfixes/xrender/xrandr).

duplicative of x.org/exts, i think.

You're right — confirmed x.org/exts already builds libXext-{{version}}.tar.gz with the same deps. Closing as duplicate. Thanks!
