Commit 2b50f4a ("CMake: Prefer GLVND if available") changed the cmake
policy CMP0072 to `NEW` in order to make the FindOpenGL module prefer the
GLVND libraries (libOpenGL and libGLX) over the legacy GL library (libGL).

The help of the CMP0072 policy states:

> CMP0072
> -------
>
> .. versionadded:: 3.11
>
> ``FindOpenGL`` prefers GLVND by default when available.
>
> The ``FindOpenGL`` module provides an ``OpenGL::GL`` target and an
> ``OPENGL_LIBRARIES`` variable for projects to use for legacy GL interfaces.
> When both a legacy GL library (e.g. ``libGL.so``) and GLVND libraries
> for OpenGL and GLX (e.g. ``libOpenGL.so`` and ``libGLX.so``) are available,
> the module must choose between them.  It documents an ``OpenGL_GL_PREFERENCE``
> variable that can be used to specify an explicit preference.  When no such
> preference is set, the module must choose a default preference.
>
> CMake 3.11 and above prefer to choose GLVND libraries.  This policy provides
> compatibility with projects that expect the legacy GL library to be used.
>
> The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to set ``OpenGL_GL_PREFERENCE`` to
> ``LEGACY``.  The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to set
> ``OpenGL_GL_PREFERENCE`` to ``GLVND``.
>
> This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.11.  CMake version
> 3.23.0 warns when the policy is not set and uses ``OLD`` behavior.
> Use the ``cmake_policy()`` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW``
> explicitly.
>
> .. note::
>   The ``OLD`` behavior of a policy is
>   ``deprecated by definition``
>   and may be removed in a future version of CMake.

The changes from the mentioned commit combined with the new behaviour of
the FindOpenGL module resulted in the glew library being linked against
`libOpenGL` instead of `libGL`, but not `libGLX`. Since `libOpenGL`
doesn't link against GLX compared to `libGL` the linker errors above
surfaced. Fix this by explicitly linking against libGLX if GLEW_X11 is
enabled
