xwayland: Stop relying on event_id being a valid pointer 

On traditional 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, uint64_t can be abused
to hold a uintptr_t and be cast back to a valid pointer. However, on
CHERI, and thus Arm's Morello prototype, pointers are capabilities,
which contain a traditional address alongside additional metadata,
including a tag bit that ensures it cannot be forged (the only way to
get a capability with the tag bit set is by using instructions that take
in another valid capability with sufficient bounds/permissions/etc for
the request, and any other operation, like overwriting individual bytes
in memory, will give a capability whose tag is clear). Casting a pointer
to a uintptr_t is fine as uintptr_t is represented as a capability, but
casting to a uint64_t yields just the address, losing the metadata and
tag. Thus, when cast back to a uintptr_t, the capability remains invalid
and faults on any attempt to dereference.

As with various other places in the tree, address this by searching for
the pointer in a list so that we no longer rely on this undefined
behaviour.
