[Xcb] [PATCH 2/2] xcb_get_setup(): Never return NULL

The documentation doesn't mention it and it's unlikely that a lot of code out
there handles this case correctly. So, instead of returning NULL, let
xcb_get_setup() return a pointer to a static, invalid, all-zero setup
information structure.

I tested this against xcb_render_util_query_version(xcb_connect(NULL, NULL))
which crashed with e.g. DISPLAY=:42 before this patch. Should I mention
something like this in the commit message?
