Xephyr patch

Mouse and keyboard input in Xephyr (nested Xorg server) is broken in x11-base/xorg-server-21.1.3.

This can be tested by running "lightdm --test-mode" as a normal user (requires x11-misc/lightdm).

This is fixed in upstart here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/commit/4c03b67d334b05b814239420776f2fdd4c4a98ac

I attached a patch for the issue and can confirm that this patch works.

This is still broken in xorg-server-21.1.8 and not merged into upstream’s server-21.1 branch. Applying the patch works, however.
