[Xcb] [PATCH libxcb 1/1] do not serialize pads by default anymore

[Christian Linhart]

Pads should not be serialized/deserialized to maintain
ABI compatibility when adding explicit align pads.

Therefore this pad switches off serialization of pads
unless it is enforced by serialize=true in the xml-definition
of that pad
