Christian Linhart 7758257567 Fix handling of align-pads in end-iterators 
If a list is preceded by an align-pad, then
accessor for the end-iterator returned a wrong
value.

Reason: the length of the align-iterator was added
to a pointer of list-member type. Therefore, the length
was multiplied by the size of the list-member type,
due to C pointer arithmetic rules.

This has looked like the following, e.g., in
xcb_randr_get_crtc_transform_pending_params_end:

i.data = ((xcb_render_fixed_t *) prev.data) + ((-prev.index) & (4 - 1)) + (R->pending_nparams);

This bug was introduced with the following commit:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xcb/libxcb/commit/?id=4033d39d4da21842bb1396a419dfc299591c3b1f

The fix handles this by casting to char* before adding the align,
and then casting the result to the member type.

About libxcb
============

libxcb provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, which
replaces the current Xlib interface. It has several advantages over
Xlib, including:
- size: small, simple library, and lower memory footprint
- latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
- direct protocol access: interface and protocol correspond exactly
- proven thread support: transparently access XCB from multiple threads
- easy extension implementation: interfaces auto-generated from XML-XCB

Xlib can also use XCB as a transport layer, allowing software to make
requests and receive responses with both, which eases porting to XCB.
However, client programs, libraries, and toolkits will gain the most
benefit from a native XCB port.


Please report any issues you find to the freedesktop.org bug tracker,
at:

	<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=XCB>

Discussion about XCB occurs on the XCB mailing list:

        <mailto:xcb at lists.freedesktop.org>
