Don't build XComposite buffer integration by default

Browse Source 
Both xcomposite-egl and xcomposite-glx have rendering issues, and they
do not work with the latest Nvidia driver versions.

These plugins were created to allow testing/debugging of QtWayland-based
compositors on desktops that did not support Wayland natively. At this
time, Wayland is much more widely supported on the desktop, and

The X Composite buffer integration should work on all modern X servers. It
can be used with either EGL or GLX as the OpenGL backend. This must match the

Qt Wayland supports several backends for sharing graphics buffers between clients and the

\list
\li \c{wayland-egl}: This is the default backend and should be preferred whenever possible.
However, it requires support in the OpenGL driver on the system for this to work.
\li \c{xcomposite-glx}: This uses the \c XComposite extension to the X11 display server for
sharing buffers. It requires that an X11 server is running on the system and that the xcb platform
plugin is used with the "GLX" backend. This is usually the default on X11 systems, but can be
forced by setting the \c QT_XCB_GL_INTEGRATION environment variable to "xcb_glx".

Other backends may be selected by setting the \c QT_WAYLAND_CLIENT_BUFFER_INTEGRATION environment variable.
\note If Qt Wayland Compositor is unable to initialize the client buffer backend, then it will
fall back to using the "shared memory" backend (based on \c{wl_shm}) as a fail-safe. This backend
