nongnu: steam: Work around propagated libx11 profile collision.

Fixes #281.

Use the same fix as when this happened before with expat and fontconfig, as in
commit 3df99d7769.

* nongnu/packages/steam-client.scm (libxdamage-fixed, mesa-fixed): New
variables.
(steam-client-libs): Replace mesa with mesa-fixed.

;; After guix commit to add a replacement for libx11 (security fixes),
;; 5ff0c8997a2ddf71af477883584a5f9ccd9b757f, a profile collision happens with
;; the propagated libx11 (now grafted) from mesa and its propagated-input
;; libxdamage. See previous upstream report (when this occurred for expat and
;; fontconfig) at <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/53406>. So we define explicit
;; replacement packages to workaround this issue.
;; TODO: remove once upstream bug is fixed or libx11 is ungrafted.
