[Bug 255973] x11-drivers/xf86-video-qxl deprecated/deleted, yet upstream source builds on freebsd 12.2

Hi Niclas,

yes I have used and tested.

Testing requires a Linux KVM / QEMU setup as the QXL driver is virtual device
driver for use with QEMU. 

Without the QXL driver X11 startup "startx" fails.

So the driver allows FreeBSD with X11 running as VM.

But you need to make sure that the there is no video/display driver in
configured in "/etc/usr/local/X11/xorg.conf.s" for it to work.

I have attached patch file, which just removes to pyton version check
completely (on assumption that ports is enforcing default python version
somewhere else, as per comment from Jan Beich.

NOTE: In doing build test I have already done pkg install of: libspice-dev
spice-protocol so the bulid process did not go into "spice" dependency build.

Cheers from Australia,

John Hartley.
