Eric came up with an obvious solution here. We simply take over the
existing 'xproto' package and start with that existing version
number. It's not tied to any protocol visible number at all.

I'll plan on bumping that to '7.1.0'. Seem reasonable?

Then we switch the X server to depending only on that package with that
version number. We can still install the other .pc files for backwards
compatibility, but future changes would want to use only the xproto
version number.
