cairo: pass --disable-xlib to config if no x11 #83808

It appears that cairo's configure script, at least on MacOS but perhaps
elsewhere, unconditionally enables xlib support, even if the library
isn't present, which breaks the build on MacOS always (since x11 is
disabled by default now). This explicitly passes --disable-x11 if
x11Support is set to false, which fixes the build for me.

Motivation for this change

Cairo fails to build by default on MacOS, and likely on other systems when x11Support is set to false

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.
