Dropping X11 VCL backend

Hello Ilmari,

I use gen rendering when trying to be nearer of a Windows config.
Indeed, I'm on pc Debian x86-64 with master sources and by default it uses
gtk3.
Badfully, gtk3 uses accessibility part which has been quite broken since
years (but I suppose no one will want to remove it). So sometimes, I got
some assertion or bug with gtk3 which prevents me to reproduce the real bug.
There's also kf5 rendering (corresponding to kde, I don't know why it's not
called "kde5") which doesn't use accessibility but need a lot of extra libs
to install (there are also all related Plasma and Wayland things that I
don't know enough so sometimes it's not easy to reproduce kde specific
bugs).

Finally gen rendering which "seem" (perhaps I'm wrong here) not to use extra
libs and in which some window dialogs are not modal (I don't know why) is a
good complement to test (even if I dislike UI above all open file window
dialog).

Julien
