X11: Clean up EWMH feature detection

The EWMH feature detection atoms are now named and loaded the same way
as other X11 atoms.  Detection is now performed after all
non-conditional atoms have been loaded.  The EWMH detection now has
hopefully more readable comments.

(cherry picked from commit fad9896d38)
