enable SECURITY X server extension

Attached patch enables SECURITY extension for X server. This will allow 'ssh
-X' to work. Currently ssh -X fails, because 'xauth generate' can't grab auth
data from running X server.

This extension is enabled in xorg package for many (may be most) Linux distros.

As I know it was disabled by default in xorg when XACE was added. But XACE is
not fully replaces SECURITY extension:

"In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, the X Security extension (XC-SECURITY) has been
disabled and replaced by X Access Control Extension (XACE). However, XACE does
not yet include functionality that was previously available in XC-SECURITY.
With this update, XC-SECURITY is enabled in the xorg-x11-server spec file on
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6." [1]

I've not tested this change with slave ports, so in my patch I've added this
option only for ${SLAVE_PORT} == "no".
