[Xlibs] A hack for flashplayer

I've discovered that flash player gets confused when it sees a depth 32
visual available from the server. I'm sure this is a bug in that code,
but there's not exactly a lot we can do about it.
I hacked Xlib to ignore depth 32 visuals when an environment variable
(XLIB_ IGNORE_ARGB32) is set so that I can run mozilla and still see the
fine flash content available on the net.
I'm hoping this won't be a problem for many applications; it's a bit hard
to understand why flash had this problem (it seems weird to happen upon a
non-default visual and use it's depth when creating images, but not use it
for creating windows).
