Patch

In some environments, xrandr modes initialization can fail even though xrandr support is present and of a sufficient version.
(The one I encountered was an AWS instance running a virtual display)

The attached patch allows SDL to keep trying other methods if xrandr modes initialization fails (still subject to SDL_VIDEO_X11_REQUIRE_XRANDR).
