nixos/display-managers/startx: init (#47773)

Dummy display manager that allows running X as a normal user.
The X server is started manually from a vt using `startx`.
Session startup commands must be provided by the user
in ~/.xinitrc, which is NOT automatically generated.

Whether to enable the dummy "startx" pseudo-display manager,
which allows users to start X manually via the "startx" command
from a vt shell. The X server runs under the user's id, not as root.
The user must provide a ~/.xinintrc file containing session startup
commands, see startx(1). This is not autmatically generated
from the desktopManager and windowManager settings.
