xfree86: update man page for special keys handling. 

SpecialKeyHandling was removed from the kbd driver with version 1.4.0. Since
this is the only version that will build against server 1.7+ it's not
reasonable to mention it in the man page. Reword, point to XKB instead and
make clear that some key combinations _may_ not be available in any given
config.
