[Xcb] [PATCH proto 01/22] xinput: enum InputClass: comment value Attach 7

The value Attach=7 is defined in XI.h but not supported anymore by libXi.
And it never was transmitted over the protocol.
(It was used to tag a fake class created by libXi)

Add this comment so that future reviews will not accidentally add this value.

spec:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/inputproto/tree/XI.h#n242

drop of support in libXi:
