[Xcb] Switch for events with equal event number

[Daniel Martin]

Hi,

let's revive this thread. Because, XI2 events fall into the same
problematic case and are (imho) much more hard to fix.

All XI2 events are generic events (number 35). Just based on this, we
could use a big fat switch and merge all events in (I expect the switch
to become 200+ lines).
But, to make the decission correct, you've to compare if the extension
field really contains the XI2 extension number/opcode, which has to be
aquired at runtime with xcb_query_extension().

How could we fix that?

PS: For the beginning, I'll ignore that problem in the xinput
implementation and treat XI2 events like normal events (except for the
xge attribute).
