remove workaround for a crash with color emojis on some systems, now fixed in libXft 2.3.5

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxft/-/blob/libXft-2.3.5/NEWS

bump version to 6.4

Ref.
https://git.suckless.org/dwm/commit/970f37697358574e127019eb0ee2f5725ec05ce0.html
https://git.suckless.org/dwm/commit/50ad171eea9db5ccb36fce2592e047c3282975ff.html

Consequently the color emoji patch has been inverted into no color emoji, keeping the workaround in the code base for those that are on systems with older versions of the Xft library.

This dwm 6.3 (c2b748e, 2022-08-26) side project has a different take on dwm patching. It uses preprocessor directives to decide whether or not to include a patch during build time. Essentially this means that this build, for better or worse, contains both the patched _and_ the original code. The aim being that you can select which patches to include and the build will contain that code and nothing more. Due to the complexity of some of the patches dwm-flexipatch has diverged from mainstream dwm by making some core patches non-optional for maintenance reasons. For the classic dwm-flexipatch build refer to branch [dwm-flexipatch-1.0](https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch/tree/dwm-flexipatch-1.0).

For example to include the `alpha` patch then you would only need to flip this setting from 0 to 1 in [patches.h](https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch/blob/master/patches.def.h):
