With Wayland compositors now being able to start Xwayland on demand, the
next logical step is to be able to stop Xwayland when there is no more
need for it.
The Xserver itself is capable of terminating itself once all X11 clients
are gone, yet in a typical full session, there are a number of X11
clients running continuously (e.g. the Xsettings daemon, IBus, etc.).
Those always-running clients will prevent the Xserver from terminating,
because the actual number of X11 clients will never drop to 0. Worse,
the X11 window manager of a Wayland compositor also counts as an X11
client, hence also preventing Xwayland from stopping.
Some compositors such as mutter use the XRes extension to query the X11
clients connected, match their PID with the actual executable name and
compare those with a list of executables that can be ignored when
deciding to kill the Xserver.
But that's not just clumsy, it is also racy, because a new X11 client
might initiate a connection the X11 server right when the compositor is
about to kill it.
To solve this issue directly at the Xserver level, this add new entries
to the XFixes extension to let the X11 clients themselves specify the
disconnect mode they expect.
Typically, those X11 daemon clients would specify the disconnect mode
XFixesClientDisconnectFlagTerminate to let the Xserver know that they
should not be accounted for when checking the remaining clients prior
to terminate.

Save in a few special cases, _X_EXPORT should not be used in C source
files. Instead, it should be used in headers, and the proper C source
include that header. Some special cases are symbols that need to be
shared between modules, but not expected to be used by external drivers,
and symbols that are accessible via LoaderSymbol/dlopen.
This patch also adds conditionally some new sdk header files, depending
on extensions enabled. These files were added to match pattern for
other extensions/modules, that is, have the headers "deciding" symbol
visibility in the sdk. These headers are:
o Xext/panoramiXsrv.h, Xext/panoramiX.h
o fbpict.h (unconditionally)
o vidmodeproc.h
o mioverlay.h (unconditionally, used only by xaa)
o xfixes.h (unconditionally, symbols required by dri2)
LoaderSymbol and similar functions now don't have different prototypes,
in loaderProcs.h and xf86Module.h, so that both headers can be included,
without the need of defining IN_LOADER.
xf86NewInputDevice() device prototype readded to xf86Xinput.h, but
not exported (and with a comment about it).
Get rid of almost all uses of these definitions. They're still defined for
delinquent out-of-tree drivers, and also for the Mesa build. As well as
for miinitext.c. But largely gone.
