[Xcb] Assertion `c->out.request == c->out.request_written' failed

This was pretty easy to fix -- xcb_take_socket just needs to loop until
the requests queue is actually flushed as _xcb_out_flush may drop the
iolock and let some other thread come back in and queue a request.

Subject: [PATCH] Make xcb_take_socket keep flushing until idle

_xcb_out_flush_to will drop the iolock in pthread_cond_wait allowing
other threads to queue new requests. When this happened,
there would be requests queued for the socket after _xcb_out_flush_to
returned, and xcb_take_socket would throw an assert.
