Add xresources-xdefaults patch (#195)
* Add xresources-xdefaults patch

This patch adds the ability to configure st via Xdefaults, in addition
to Xresources, like the rxvt-unicode terminal. At startup, st will read
and apply the system and user's local Xdefault files, the XServer's
Xresources, and the screen and per-host Xdefaults. This patch depends
on XRESOURCES_PATCH and is compatible with XRESOURCES_RELOAD_PATCH.

I used the following script to stress test this patch. You can also use
the script to demo what the patch does. To be simple, it only tests
the user's .Xdefaults and .Xresources files, without throwing in the
system and per-host files. The script cycles st's background through
red, green and blue indefinitely.

BACKUP YOUR ~/.Xdefaults and ~/.Xresources FILES BEFORE TESTING.

```sh

unset pid
if [ -n "$1" ]; then
	pid=$1
elif pid=$(pgrep -f ^valgrind) && [ -n "$pid" ]; then
	:
else
	pid=$(pgrep -n ^st$)
fi
if [ -z "$pid" -o "x$pid" = "x-h" -o "x$pid" = "x--help" ]; then
	echo "usage: $0 [pid]
	If pid is omitted valgrind's is used falling back to st's.
	---------------------------------------------------------------
	BACKUP YOUR ~/.Xdefaults and ~/.Xresources FILES BEFORE TESTING
	---------------------------------------------------------------"
	exit 0
fi
printf "Attaching pid=%d\n\t%s\n" "$pid" "$(ps -h -ocmd "$pid")" >&2

seconds=0.25 red='#800000' green='#008000' blue='#000080'
echo "St.background: $red" >> $HOME/.Xdefaults
while true; do
	sed -i "\$s/$red/$green/" $HOME/.Xdefaults
	kill -USR1 $pid
	sleep $seconds
	sed -i "\$s/$green/$red/" $HOME/.Xdefaults
	kill -USR1 $pid
	sleep $seconds

	echo "St.background: $blue" >> $HOME/.Xresources
	xrdb -load $HOME/.Xresources
	kill -USR1 $pid
	sleep $seconds
	sed -i '$d' $HOME/.Xresources
	xrdb -load $HOME/.Xresources
	kill -USR1 $pid
	sleep $seconds
done
```

* Minor refactoring and freeing / destroying the Xrm database with XrmDestroyDatabase
