Is your feature request about something that is currently impossible or hard to do? Please describe the problem.
In order to use clientserver feature, not only linking with X libraries but also X server is necessary on runtime.
To do something like vim --servername VIM_SERVER --remote-tab test , you need to start full x server or virtual x server. --remote-tab is very useful when you open from vim :sh or :terminal. On Mac, it's especially painful to link with xquartz and have it running. On SSH only server, you'd run Xvfb.

Describe the solution you'd like
Ideally vim directly supports or vim project can generate a tiny server binary, and vim can open remote tab through unix domain socket or tcp.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None. I cannot think of things other than socket for IPC for this.

Additional context
None
