x11-wm/marco: depend on min mate-desktop matching ${PV}

Depend on >=mate-desktop-$(ver_cut 1-2) to avoid build failures for now
as a quick workaround.

The maintainers should check whether each package really needs it and
also consider a possible QA check in the eclass given some of them
seem to have a pattern in configure.ac for this, but given the bug has
been open for a whlie, I'd rather have some of the deps be unnecessarily
tight (not that it's even that tight) than as-it-was.

Note that couldn't use ${MATE_BRANCH} as it says:
> # Major and minor numbers of the version number, unless live.
> # If live ebuild, will be set to '9999'.
which made me wonder if it's actually meant to be 1-2 or 1-3 in ver_cut
or what.

Anyway, in summary:
* Apply a fix which makes things better, even if it's slightly overkill;
* Someone needs to audit these to find the actual minimum versions
  (some truly do need this, some need just something older, although
  unclear if upstream carefully update these or ont);
* A QA check may be wise.
