Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult aa9a93461d Xext: xres: ProcXResQueryClientIds() collect reply in one buffer
In order to allow simplifying the reply send path, collect the reply
fragments into one buffer, instead of arbitrary number of WriteToClient()
calls. This also makes it much easier for potentially new purely packet-based
transports which (eg. binder) that would need their own stream parsing logic.

This xres function is an exceptionally hard case, since payload is constructed
step by step, and it's size only known when finished. The current way of the
fragment handling still has lots of room for improvement (eg. using very small
number of allocations), but leaving this for later exercise.

X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server
