[PATCH 1/8] Xdmx: integer overflow in GetGLXVisualConfigs()

numVisuals & numProps are both CARD32 and need to be bounds checked before
multiplying by structure sizes to come up with the total size to allocate,
to avoid integer overflow leading to underallocation and writing data from
the network past the end of the allocated buffer.
