Test: Catch SIGUSR1 from Xvfb for X11 tests

Based on the work done by Peter Hutterer. Original commit message:

If SIGUSR1 is set to SIG_IGN, X servers (all of them, including Xvfb)
will send that signal to the parent process when they're ready to accept
connections. We can use that instead of a hardcoded sleep which brings
the wait down to ~37ms on my box.
