Modified playground cygport to check for $GITHUB_WORKFLOW = scallywag and run 
ctest under xvfb-run then run under xvfb_run with -xv enabled, which loops 
starting an X server, running xmodmap, killing xvfb, deleting X tmp lock and 
socket, incrementing xvfb_display, and repeats: see GH scallywag zint job 10923.
