X Input 1.5 with device properties

[Peter Hutterer]

The current input device property [1] implementation requires XGE for the
event, and is slotted in after the XI2/MPX requests. This means that IDP won't
happen until XI2 is in a releaseable state, which arguably won't happen for a
while.

The latest released version of XI is 1.4.4. The attached patches start a new
backwards-compatible XI 1.5 and slot in IDP into 1.5. This clears the way for
IDP in server-1.6 or *gasp* even in server-1.5 if so desired.
Patches are for inputproto, libXi and xserver.

Unless there are any complaints, I will be pushing these patches to master.
I'll leave arguing whether this is appropriate for server-1.5 up to the list.
I personally would like to see them in a released server ASAP.

Note that this will break all XI2 applications (changing opcodes).

Cheers,
  Peter
