[ANNOUNCE] libX11 1.8.2

[Alan Coopersmith]

This is primarily a bug fix release, including further work on improving
the thread-safety-constructor and making it work with software which had
incorrectly called libX11 functions from inside X*IfEvent() calls.

Highlights:

 * Allow X*IfEvent() to reenter libX11 to avoid deadlock from unsafe
   calls when thread-safety-constructor is enabled (!150).
 * Remove Xlib's pthread function stubs - instead use system provided
   threads functions, including linking against any needed pthread
   libraries if thread-safety-constructor is enabled (!155, !156).
 * Fix off-by-one error in XKeycodeToKeysym for indexes > 3 (!78).
 * Allow XNSpotLocation with OnTheSpot (!127).
 * Fix Win32 build when -fno-common is in effect (!140).
 * Fix memory leak in XRegisterIMInstantiateCallback (!158).
 * Add compose sequences for the double-struck capitals ℕ ℤ ℚ ℝ ℂ (!144),
   Samogitian E with dot above and macron (!147), Unicode minus sign (!163).
 * Change <Compose> <^> <-> to mean superscript minus instead of macron (!162).
 * Delete compose sequences that mix top-row digits with numpad digits (!139)
   or mix upper & lower case letters (!144).
 * Delete some unuseful compose sequences meant for Bépo layout (!146).
 * Delete compose sequences using leftcaret & rightcaret keysyms (!163).
 * Remove KOI8-R character set from en_US.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE (!148).
 * Map sr locales to sr_RS compose files (!161).
