libglvnd participates in dependency loops relevant to architecture
bootstrap such as #979976. Instead of looking into such a difficult
problem, I looked into easily droppable dependencies. It turns out that
since the test suite is disabled, xauth and xvfb can be dropped. Also
python3-libxml2 is entirely unused. libxext-dev is kinda a corner case.
While meson.build checks for it, it gets dropped by -Wl,--as-needed
again and practically unused. Please consider applying the attached
patch to drop all mentioned dependencies.

Hi, xext is needed for GL/GLX support, and tests can now be enabled.
