I turns out that at least luna68k Xorg server (happens to?) works
without this change, but anyway upstream 1.22.x branch already
has this fix:
 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/commit/75d70612888f18339703315549db781a22c0cb23

I wonder if we should pull this fix or not for our (1.)21.1.4 tree..

It also turns out that the above changes also remove a menber from
ScrnInfoRec structure in hw/xfree86/common/xf86str.h and it breaks
ABIs of xf86-video-* drivers.

However fortunately the removed member "Bool flipPixels" in the
SrcnInfoRec has not been used for -flipPixels options so we can
safely pull back -flipPixels support by reverting the changes
except xf86str.h.

If there is no particular comments I would like to commit the
attached (reverting -flipPixels removal) patch.
