At long last, the stable release of Xlib 1.5.0.

While it only strictly requires libxcb 1.2, it's recommended that libxcb 1.8.1
be used to get the fix for network connection fallback from Unix sockets to
TCP that replaces the code previously found in libX11.

Since there have been no changes since the final release candidate,
here's the full list of changes since libX11 1.4.4:
