- Added libX11-1.0.1-setuid.diff to fix potential security issue (#196094)

- Change dependency on 'filesystem' package to 'xorg-x11-filesystem' package, so we can control this dep centrally.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Update the affected libX11, libX11-debuginfo and / or libX11-devel packages.
