[PATCH libX11] MakeBigReq: don't move the last word, already handled by Data32

From: Karl Tomlinson <xmail at karlt.net>

MakeBigReq inserts a length field after the first 4 bytes of the request
(after req->length), pushing everything else back by 4 bytes.

The current memmove moves everything but the first 4 bytes back.
If a request aligns to the end of the buffer pointer when MakeBigReq is
invoked for that request, this runs over the buffer.
Instead, we need to memmove minus the first 4 bytes (which aren't moved),
minus the last 4 bytes (so we still align to the previous tail).

The 4 bytes that fell out are already handled with Data32, which will handle
the buffermax correctly.

The case where req->length = 1 was already not functional.
