0001-x11-alacritty-fix-broken-clipboard-after-resume.patch

Hello,

It seems that on FreeBSD poll() returns -1 with EINTR set during a
suspend/resume
cycle. That causes a thread spawned by x11_clipboard to exit, and from there on
the clipboard ceases to work. This is the root cause for the issue reported
here:
https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/8001

I'm sending a fix to the author of x11_clipboard to retry the poll on EINTR and 
I'm making the alacritty developpers aware of this bug.

I suppose that it may take some time for the fix to propagate downstream, from
x11_clipboard to copypasta and then to alacritty. In the mean time, I'd suggest
to apply the attached patch to the ports tree so that FreeBSD ports tree users
may get a fix sooner rather than later.

Thanks
