luporl 7e142cb2a8 xserver: fix RGB mask handling
On FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT for PowerPC64 big-endian (BE), X was
crashing in some cases. For instance, when twm was started
and the background was clicked to open its menu, X crashed
with a segmentation fault, trying to dereference a null pointer
at CreatePicture().

There were 2 issues with xorg-server handling of RGB masks that
caused the pointer above to be null and thus the crash:
- wrong use of ffs() to get the RGB offsets from the masks
- overflow when shifting a 16-bit integer

This change fixes both issues. They happen when the system is BE
but has a video adapter using a little-endian (LE) ARGB32
framebuffer. In order to display the correct colors, this setup
requires a BE RGBA32 color format to be used by X, by setting
the RGB masks appropriately, that didn't work properly because of
the issues above.

X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server

All questions regarding this software should be directed at the Xorg mailing list:
