[Xcb] [PATCH proto 5/7] xinput: ListInputDevices: full support

* define struct InputInfo with switch-case
* define the lists "infos" and "names"
* the list "infos" requires a new xml-construct:
  <sumof> with a nested expression, to access fields
  of the list which is iterated by sumof.

spec:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/inputproto/tree/specs/XIproto.txt?id=inputproto-2.3.1#n305
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libXi/tree/specs/encoding.xml?id=libXi-1.7.4#n715

code:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libXi/tree/src/XListDev.c?id=libXi-1.7.4

Both specs are misleading ( or buggy ) in the following aspect:

In both specs, struct Deviceinfo is defined to contain a list
of InputInfo and a list of STR.

But, by analyzing the code in libXi, it was clear that
* InputInfo is contained in an extra toplevel list
  in the reply ListInputDevices
* the strings ( struct xproto:STR ) are also contained in a toplevel list
  in the reply
