Set the headless-awt USE flag against icedtea-bin. Note the description. |

Don't install the X backend for AWT, needed by some GUIs |
| 15 |
(used to be X flag) |

Admittedly it is unusual to set a flag to *not* install something but |
| 18 |
we couldn't really call the flag headful-awt or non-headless-awt. This |
| 19 |
name was chosen with input from upstream. |

We stopped using the X flag because in the case of oracle-jdk-bin, both |
| 22 |
AWT and JavaFX require X11. We needed to be able to differentiate |
| 23 |
between these and we wanted to keep the flags consistent across the |
| 24 |
different JVM packages. |
