This reverts commit 9ae84ad187e2ba440c40f44b8eb21c82c2fdbf12.
After this patch was merged, there were complaints about it not being a good
idea. Revert this for now until we can agree on this.

To prevent different threads from stealing the socket from each other the
caller of "xcb_take_socket" must hold a lock that is also acquired in
"return_socket". Unfortunately xcb tries to prevent calling return_socket
from multiple threads and this can lead to a deadlock situation.
A simple example:
- X11 has taken the socket
- Thread A has locked the display.
- Thread B does xcb_no_operation() and thus ends up in libX11's return_socket(),
waiting for the display lock.
- Thread A calls e.g. xcb_no_operation(), too, ends up in return_socket() and
because socket_moving == 1, ends up waiting for thread B
=> Deadlock
This patch allows calling return_socket from different threads at the same time
an so resolves the deadlock situation.

If lots of requests are send without one causing a reply, xcb can get confused
about the current sequence number of a reply. Document the requirements of an
external socket owner to avoid this problem.
The return_socket callback for xcb_take_socket() originally was supposed to
return the last sequence number used, but the version committed to libxcb never
actually had this signature. This fixes the function's documentation not to
mention this non-existent return value.

Libraries like Xlib, some XCB language bindings, and potentially others
have a common problem: they want to share the X connection with XCB. This
requires coordination of request sequence numbers. Previously, XCB had an
Xlib-specific lock, and allowed Xlib to block XCB from making requests.
Now we've replaced that lock with a handoff mechanism, xcb_take_socket,
allowing external code to ask XCB for permission to take over the write
side of the socket and send raw data with xcb_writev. The caller of
xcb_take_socket must supply a callback which XCB can call when it wants
the write side of the socket back to make a request. This callback
synchronizes with the external socket owner, flushes any output queues if
appropriate, and then returns the sequence number of the last request sent
over the socket.

Since extensions no longer provide type-specific XID-generation functions,
xcb_generate_id now forms part of the xcb client API, rather than the
extension API; move it from xcbext.h to xcb.h accordingly.

Rename API to follow a new naming convention:
* XCB_CONSTANTS_UPPERCASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES
* xcb_functions_lowercase_with_underscores
* xcb_types_lowercase_with_underscores_and_suffix_t
* expand all abbreviations like "req", "rep", and "iter"
Word boundaries for the names in the protocol descriptions fall:
* Wherever the protocol descriptions already have an underscore
* Between a lowercase letter and a subsequent uppercase letter
* Before the last uppercase letter in a string of uppercase letters followed
by a lowercase letter (such as in LSBFirst between LSB and First)
* Before and after a string of digits (with exceptions for sized types like
xcb_char2b_t and xcb_glx_float32_t to match the stdint.h convention)
Also fix up some particular naming issues:
* Rename shape_op and shape_kind to drop the "shape_" prefix, since otherwise
these types end up as xcb_shape_shape_{op,kind}_t.
* Remove leading underscores from enums in the GLX protocol description,
previously needed to ensure a word separator, but now redundant.
This renaming breaks code written for the previous API naming convention. The
scripts in XCB's tools directory will convert code written for the old API to
use the new API; they work well enough that we used them to convert the
non-program-generated code in XCB, and when run on the old program-generated
code, they almost exactly reproduce the new program-generated code (modulo
whitespace and bugs in the old code generator).
