Replaces the hardcoded Xvfb :0 + /tmp/.X0-lock removal with xvfb-run --auto-servernum, which picks a free display automatically.

This fixes an issue that I had where I could not use 'startx' to start a gnome session on my TV because the V Rising server was using display 0. If gnome session was started before the server, the server did not successfully start most of the time.

I decided not to use :display docker image as it is 2 years old.
