[Xcb] [ANNOUNCE] xlsclients 1.1.0

The major new feature of this release is Peter Harris' rewrite to
use libxcb instead of libX11, for much less latency in gathering
the client information from the X server.   In Peter's words:

    This version spends bandwidth to reduce latency; in particular, it
    aggressively calls query_tree before the answer to get_property(WM_STATE)
    is available.

    Even on my local box, this version is 4-10 times faster (30ms typical, vs
    200ms typical for Xlib). I get similar results over the local network.

    At least one person reports this version takes less than 2 seconds over
    ssh, vs over a minute for the Xlib version (~30x faster).

This release thus no longer requires libX11 to build, but instead
requires XCB and the libxcb-atom library from the xcb-util package.

Should anyone need to maintain the libX11 version, a 1.0.x branch can be
created in git from the 1.0.2 release base as needed.
