RFE 6897203: - Enable X11 for rKVMS by default for T3/T4

Workaround applied:
Set the X11 server to use Xorg, followed by linking the internal video device (ast0) to the system framebuffer namespace reference.

svccfg -s svc:/application/x11/x11-server setprop options/server=/usr/X11/bin/Xorg
ln -s /dev/fbs/ast0 /dev/fb
