The function doesn't need to pass anything back via this pointer, it's
the last consumer of this struct. Make understanding the code a bit easier
and clear the road for further simplifications by passing the struct as
value instead of pointer.

Make the code flow a bit easier to understand and allow further simplification
by now just having to write out one additional payload as one block.

Putting both payload pieces into one buffer, so it can be written out
with only one call.

It's hard to see which fields of the xkbGetDeviceInfoReply struct it's
reading or writing, and that complicates further simplifications of the
caller. So instead let the caller pass in the relevant fields and do the
modifications on the reply structs on its own.

A bit simplification in code flow.
The extra length check (did we write as much as intended?) isn't necessary,
since the buffer size is computed by the very same data before this
function is called.
Hint: the size computation must be done before calling this one, because
the reply might be encapsulated in another one (xkbGetKbdByName).

It's not passing back any data via that pointer and actually the last
consumer of it. Changing it to value instead of pointer clears the
road for further simplifications by subsequent patches.

Make it a bit simpler and easier to read.
calloc() and WriteToClient() can handle zero lengths very well.

We don't need the whole struct here, especially do we not wanna change it.
Therefore only pass in what's really needed, so it gets easier to understand.

Only key difference that calloc(), in contrast to rellocarray(),
is zero-initializing. The overhead is hard to measure on today's
machines, and it's safer programming practise to always allocate
zero-initialized, so one can't forget to do it explicitly.

No need to hard-crash the whole server if some strdup() calls failing,
those fields already may be NULL, so consumers can handle that situation.

No need for RunXkbComp() to hard-crash (by calling XNFstrdup()) the server
if strdup() fails to allocate more memory - it's callers already handling
the situation gracefully.

Using calloc() instead of malloc() as preventive measure, so there
never can be any hidden bugs or leaks due uninitialized memory.
The extra cost of using this compiler intrinsic should be practically
impossible to measure - in many cases a good compiler can even deduce
if certain areas really don't need to be zero'd (because they're written
to right after allocation) and create more efficient machine code.
The code pathes in question are pretty cold anyways, so it's probably
not worth even thinking about potential extra runtime costs.

The freeRules parameter is always set to TRUE, meaning always free the
XkbRF_RulesRec struct. Therefore also no need to clear out fields that
aren't going to be reused again, ever.
