Use C99 designated initializers in dix Replies
the initializer for the .length element of the xGetPointerMappingReply
structure uses the value of rep.nElts, but that won't be set until
after this initializer runs, so we get garbage in the length element
and clients using it will generally wedge.
Easy to verify:
$ xmodmap -pp
Fixed by creating a local nElts variable and using that.
