Olivier Fourdan b4ea6f9eb6 render: Avoid possible double-free in ProcRenderAddGlyphs()
ProcRenderAddGlyphs() adds the glyph to the glyphset using AddGlyph() and
then frees it using FreeGlyph() to decrease the reference count, after
AddGlyph() has increased it.

AddGlyph() however may chose to reuse an existing glyph if it's already
in the glyphSet, and free the glyph that was given, in which case the
caller function, ProcRenderAddGlyphs() will call FreeGlyph() on an
already freed glyph, as reported by ASan:

  SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: heap-use-after-free xserver/render/glyph.c:252 in FreeGlyph

To avoid that, make sure not to free the given glyph in AddGlyph().

v2: Simplify the test using the boolean returned from AddGlyph() (Michel)
v3: Simplify even more by not freeing the glyph in AddGlyph() (Peter)

Fixes: bdca6c3d1 - render: fix refcounting of glyphs during ProcRenderAddGlyphs

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:
