[ANNOUNCE] xorg-server 1.2.99.0

This one's a big one.  input-hotplug support has been merged in, the new
XACE framework as well, a few Cygwin fixes, new GLX ABI, and support for
the new DRM memory manager.  The shortlog is huge, so I've appended it
to the end of the announce.

KDrive should be completely usable (and with vastly better input) in
this release.  Currently, Xdmx is broken; non-XFree86 DDXes are broken
with GLX support due to Mesa breakage.  This also probably wants a lot
more testing on non-Linux OSes.

Please test this one hard: in particular, the input paths have changed
massively, and need as much testing as they can get.  If there are a lot
of changes, I'd like to get a 1.2.99.1 out the door reasonably quickly,
particularly also if there are changes like pci-rework involved (hi,
Ian!).
