Maybe as a follow-up (after this is merged) we can make this even a bit
simpler, by unconditionally generating the `xcb_padding_offset`
declaration, and using it freely, but just making sure it is initialized
to 0 when `not is_switch`.

Anything to reduce the massive amounts of guess-why-I'm-here if-else's in
the current generator...
