patch 9.2.0218: visual selection highlighting in X11 GUI is wrong.
Problem: The check for whether an X connection was opened was incorrect
(after v9.2.0158).
Solution: Use X_DISPLAY instead of xterm_dpy (Shane Harper)
Note: xterm_dpy would be NULL if Vim was started in GUI mode.
Previously, starting two instances of gvim that use GTK3 with:
GDK_BACKEND=x11 gvim and making a visual selection in both would leave
both selections highlighted with the Visual highlight group. Now, when
the second selection is made the first selection will be highlighted
with VisualNOS.
closes: #19752
