[Xcb] [PATCH v2] Force XCB event structures with 64-bit extended fields to be packed.

[Kenneth Graunke]

With the advent of the Present extension, some events (such as
PresentCompleteNotify) now use native 64-bit types on the wire.

For XGE events, we insert an extra "uint32_t full_sequence" field
immediately after the first 32 bytes of data.  Normally, this causes
the subsequent fields to be shifted over by 4 bytes, and the structure
to grow in size by 4 bytes.  Everything works fine.

However, if event contains 64-bit extended fields, this may result in
the compiler adding an extra 4 bytes of padding so that those fields
remain aligned on 64-bit boundaries.  This causes the structure to grow
by 8 bytes, not 4.  Unfortunately, XCB doesn't realize this, and
always believes that the length only increased by 4.  read_packet()
then fails to malloc enough memory to hold the event, and the event
processing code uses the wrong offsets.

To fix this, mark any event structures containing 64-bit extended
fields with __attribute__((__packed__)).

v2: Use any(...) instead of True in (...), as suggested by
    Daniel Martin.
