Give up on the X11 frontend for now

There seem to be only a few things it could bring to the table,
compared to xP, making it barely worth the effort:

 - saner keyboard controls,
 - GVIM integration,
 - slightly improved resource usage.

'xK' (chat kit) is an IRC software suite consisting of a daemon, bot, terminal
client, and X11/web frontends for the client. It's all you're ever going to
client, and a web frontend for the client. It's all you're ever going to
need for chatting, so long as you can make do with slightly minimalist software.
They're all lean on dependencies, and offer a maximally permissive licence.

xP

The web frontend for 'xC', making use of its networked relay interface.
Fully usable, despite some rough edges. It intentionally differs in that it
uses a sans-serif font, and shows the list of all buffers in a side panel.
Otherwise it aims to be a near replica.
xF
--
The X11 frontend for 'xC', making use of its networked relay interface.
This subproject has been put on hold, partly because of its massive overlap
with 'xP', and is hidden behind a CMake option.
It intentionally differs in that it uses a sans-serif font, and it shows
the list of all buffers in a side panel. Otherwise it is a near replica,
including keyboard shortcuts.
