Xlibre and gtk2-ng are back!

Xlibre, the continuation of X11, and gtk2-ng, the continuation of gtk2, were in EasyOS 7.4. In a subsequent release, I removed Xlibre as the 'nouveau' driver caused the X server to crash. Then in another later release, gtk2-ng was removed, as it caused Xdialog to misbehave.

Well, good news, these are active projects, and the developers of both have fixed the problems. See my issue posts and the replies:

"Xdialog calendar broken"
https://git.devuan.org/Daemonratte/gtk2-ng/issues/27

"Xserver crashes for all testers with nouveau driver"
https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/issues/3144

I haven't personally verified that these are fixed. Will build Easy 7.4.7 soon, and will be able to verify Xdialog fixed, but you guys with nVidia GPU can verify that nouveau now works.
