[Bug 266059] java/openjdk*: Create x11 FLAVOR to support headless (no-x11) default

The size of the installed jdk is not significantly smaller. It's only the
libawt_xawt.so not being built. But it saves you some dependencies. I haven't
measured the total size difference including dependencies.

The java.awt.headless property is still there, but since the x11/xorg support
is not, it's not really needed. I.e. java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()
will always return true.

https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/25/docs/api/java.desktop/java/awt/GraphicsEnvironment.html#isHeadless()

It's worth noting that this only concerns GUI apps using awt. Other toolkits
like swt that is not based on awt are still able to display as normal.

It may be possible to build a headless JRE, that will save more space on disk
as long as you don't need the full jdk (javac, jdb etc.)
