No need to go indirectly through a vector table, since everything's fixed
anyways. It's not a pretty robust programming style: any changes need great
care, in order to not mix up things.
Replacing this by direct switch/case statement, which is using the defines
from the xrandr protocol headers. Also adding a little bit more protection
against subtle programming errors and reducing cognitive load (source size)
on understanding the code by using a tiny macro for deducing define name and
function name from the request's name.
This approach actually uncovered some subtle bug that had been waiting in
the dark for over 15 years.
As collateral benefit, getting a tiny bit better performance.

No need to go indirectly through an vector table. It's much clearer and
easier to understand when calling them directly. And a tiny bit performance
improvement as collateral benefit.
