xcb: list & padding

[Peter Harris]

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxcb/-/merge_requests/14 changes it so that lists always require explicit padding (and therefore allows unpadded lists). This MR is stalled. With a little review, I think it can be merged.

As long as you're looking at xkb, see also https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/xcbproto/-/merge_requests/39
