[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] xapp_xinit depends on mcookie, not xserver_xorg-server

From: "Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind)" <arnout at mind.be>

mcookie is not actually used by the Xorg server; it is used by xinit to
generate a xauth cookie before starting the server.

Verified with 'ack-grep -a mcookie build/x*' in an output directory with all
packages selected. The only other package that matches is x11vnc: it does a
runtime check for mcookie and falls back on /dev/random if it's missing.
