Use plain libXaw instead of libXaw3d #59

llibXaw3d is basically unmaintained since years, and it is (IMO) only a question of time that it gets removed, as part of the general declination of X11.

Here, we patch out the use of Xaw3D. As x11iraf uses the LayoutWidget which is specific to libXaw3d, its sources are added. These files are copyrighted by MIT, which is already covered by our LICENSES file.

This PR is not required to be merged now, it just lets us react to the moment when Xaw3D becomes unavailable on any supported platform.
