[Xcb] State of XInputExtension

[Christian Linhart]

Hi Uli,

I think that XINPUT-support in XCB is complete now, with the changes that I have pushed today.
However, I'd like to get at least one second opinion on that before we enable it by default.

Especially, the newest changes in
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/inputproto/
should be cross-checked with xinput.xml in xcb/proto.
Most of my changes are based on the state of the XINPUT-spec from 2014 or so.

Thank you for asking for a list of remaining issues:
There is such a list: it is in the comment at the beginning of xinput.xml.
I have forgotten about this list, and therefore forgotten to remove it.
I'll post a patch for that, soon.

Cheers,

Chris

P.S.: I didn't realize that pthread_stubs is an extra library. :-)
