[Xcb] [PATCH libxcb 2/3] generator: support lists of structs which contain a switch

This essentially requires to have a correct sizeof-function
for the struct.
This in turn requires a sizeof-function for the switch, too.

Making a sizeof-function for the switch is triggered by
replacing "elif" by "if" in the first change of this patch.
This way, c_need_sizeof is also set to True for switches if appropriate.

The _c_serialize_helper_switch_field function has to support
the context "sizeof":
This is done in the second change of this patch

The third change of this patch fixes an alignment error:
It does not make sense to base the padding on the struct-type
which is generated for switch because this struct does not
represent the protocol. Rather it is the output of deserialization.
( The implicit padding for var-sized fields has other issues, IMHO,
but I am not touching these now...)

The effect on the generated code for the current xml-files
is as follows:
* several additional sizeof-functions are generated
* the fix of the alignment error only changes one place
  in the XKB-extension for the GetKbdByName-reply.
  This is no problem because that reply in its current form
  is broken/unfinished anyways.

Note:
This patch also fixes a problem in the generator when
a fixed-size list is the last field of a case or bitcase.
