[PATCH] dix: Make small bitfields that store enums unsigned

Commit 31bf81772e146af79b0c456aae2159eba8b0280f changed the clientState field
from a signed int to a signed int 2-bit bitfield.  The ClientState enum that is
expected to be assigned to this field has four values: ClientStateInitial (0),
ClientStateRunning (1), ClientStateRetained (2), and ClientStateGone (3).
However, because this bitfield is signed, ClientStateRetained becomes -2 when
assigned, and ClientStateGone becomes -1.  This causes warnings:

 test.c:54:10: error: case label value exceeds maximum value for type [-Werror]
 test.c:55:10: error: case label value exceeds maximum value for type [-Werror]

The code here is a switch statement:

 53     switch (client->clientState) {
 54     case ClientStateGone:
 55     case ClientStateRetained:
 56         [...]
 57         break;
 58
 59     default:
 60         [...]
 61         break;
 62     }

It also causes bizarre problems like this:

 client->clientState = ClientStateGone;
 assert(client->clientState == ClientStateGone); // this assert fails

Also change the signedness of nearby bitfields to match.
