[Xcb] Change type="CARD8" to type="char" where the X specs require a STRING8

[Barton C Massey]

No, it looks like we never pushed that one.

I'm fine with it, but I'm not sure I'm understanding it.
Why does it make a big difference one way or the other?
We're not in UTF-land or anything with the protocol, so it
seems like it's almost better to make sure of that by using
CARD8 for these?  Are you dealing with C signed/unsigned
brain damage or something?

At any rate, can anybody think of a reason why I shouldn't
push Thomas' 2007 patch?
