The original intention was negotiating versions before any further requests
can be processed, so requests that might become incompatible in future versions
still can be dispatched correctly. But practically that's never been the case:
there's just one major version, and it's unlikely that a new *major* version
(that might be incompatible with the current one, using same request codes for
different things) will come in the forseeable future.
So this extra logic isn't practically needed and just complicates dispatching.
Dropping it clears the road for further simplification of the dispatcher.

The diffenciation between Xinerama and single screen version is by tweaking
call vectors unncessarily complicated: it the only reason why these are
needed in the first place. Finally, it's just about one function, so it's
much easier just branching off in ProcDamageCreate() in case of Xinerama
is enabled.
This also clears the road for further simplification of the dispatcher.

Move extra complexity out of the dispatch functions, so they're
really just switch/case statements calling the actual handler procs.
Preparation for further steps.

These dispatcher functions are much more complex than they're usually are
(just switch/case statement). Bring them in line with the standard scheme
used in the Xserver, so further steps become easier.

Instead of highjacking core request handlers, use the recently introduced
DDX/driver API.

We don't have a standard protocol for enabling VRR yet, but some time ago an
ad-hoc had been made in the amdgpu driver (later also copied to modsetting),
which works by client setting the _VARIABLE_REFRESH window property.
The way it's currently done - driver is highjacking the X_ChangeProperty and
X_DeleteProperty request handlers - is pretty fragile, and is also a violation
of layers: drivers never should be twisted with core protocol details. (And in
the future, this should be done by some suitable extension).
Another problem is Xinerama: when it's enabled, this only works on the first
screen - the others won't ever see this signal, no matter on which one(s) the
Window is physically placed (for the wire protocol, all windows are on screen 0,
unless the client explicitly creates them on another one)
This commit adds a generic Screen proc for telling the DDX, whether the VRR mode
shall be changed (for now, it's only DISABLED and ENABLED). Drivers can hook into
here in order to receive this signal, w/o having to highjack any core request
handlers. Catching the property change is now entirely done in the DIX.
The (non-standard) status qou of (ab)using window properties is kept, but it's
now also easy to add a new signaling mechanism, in case a standard is agreed on.
Yet a quite naive implementation (eg. not acting on moving windows between screens),
but enough to fix the most pressing problems supporting extra screens in general,
as well as stopping the highjacking of core request handlers by drivers.

XServer refuses the create windows with different color depth than the parent's,
just in the special case that neither border pixmap nor border pixel is given,
even if the screen supports it. (that's also one of the reasons why Xnest fails
to run with different color depths than the default one)
it really doesn't make sense to deny this, while it's allowed when having a
border color or pixmap set.

Since we're now using xcb for upstream X11 connection, it's cleaner to
use it's type for the window IDs.

Now that we completely ported from Xlib to XCB, we can finally stop
importing Xlib :)

Now that no Xlib operations (besides opening and closing connection)
aren't used anymore, we can move over the last pieces and use XCB
instead of Xlib for connecting the upstream Xserver.

Now that no X11 calls are being done via Xlib anymore, we're free to
also move over event receiving, leaving Xlib pretty much unused.
Also need to add a simple event queue mechanism, because we've go a
screen operation (see xnestBitBlitHelper) that needs to collect up
certain events for it's return value.

xnestWindowExposures() is a micro-optimization for the specific case that
a newly created window receives exposure events (from our upstream server)
inside the region we're already exposing on our own (miWindowExposures()):
it peeks the Xlib event queue for all expose events, checks whether their
areas are inside our exposure region and requeue's those that aren't.
Unfortunately, this depends on Xlib's internal queue mechamism, thus standing
in the way of moving to XCB (which doesn't have that).
Removing this doens't seem to make any practical difference, even with
demanding applications like GIMP. The only cost is potentially having some
initial window content painted twice, *if* the application really draws
something complicated right after creating the window.
*If* there'll really be a demand for such an optimization some day, it can
be reimplemented without any message queue: just redirecting all expose events
into recording them in a region, which is flushed out later. But for now,
there really doesn't seem to be any practical need for that.

This is a temporary measure, until xcbproto / libxcb is fixed:
keep an own copy of the fixed xcb_xkb_get_kbd_by_name(), renamed
as xcb_xkb_get_kbd_by_name_1().
Once xcbproto/libxcb is fixed (and new xcb release is out), this
commit can be reverted.
