[PATCH] xfree86: remove user-configured AllowEmptyInput

[Peter Hutterer]

An estimated 100% (rounded down to the nearest percent) of those who have
this in their configuration don't actually know what this option does.
Protect the users from themselves.

IIRC, AEI on was useful for some time between 1.4 and 1.5 and never since.
