[PATCH] [xserver] XInput extended button press/release report regression

Hi,

We (linuxwacom) had some strange reports about button presses that got out of 
sync with the actual button mapping for the InputDevice. This has shown up 
starting with xserver 1.4.

I've tracked it down to a button conversion made twice only for extended input 
events, which was introduced with xserver 1.4/input rework.

The two places where the conversion is made today are here:
./dix/getevents.c:656 in GetPointerEvents
./Xi/exevents.c:237 in ProcessOtherEvent
---
Remove duplicate button press/release translation for extended events.
