    x2goserver/bin/x2go{startagent,resume-session}: use x2gogetfreeport instead of duplicating the same code everywhere. Fixes: #1230.
    
    Also, rely on it returning a valid value and try at most 10 times to
    fetch a usable port value, then error out and make the session startup
    or resumption fail.

     - RPMify x2goserver-xsession description.
     - Remove qt4 stuff, we're not using the framework here.
