[Xcb] [PATCH libX11] xcb_io: Fix Xlib 32-bit request number wrap bug

By design, on 32-bit systems, the Xlib internal 32-bit request sequence
numbers may wrap. There is two locations within xcb_io.c that are not
wrap-safe though. The value of last_flushed relies on request to be
sequential all the time. This is not given in the moment when the sequence
has just wrapped. Applications may then crash with a "Fatal IO error 11
(Resource temporarily unavailable)".
This patch fixes this by "unwrapping" the sequence number when needed to
retain the sequence relative to last_flushed.
