This commit introduces an abstraction API for handling masked valuators. The
intent is that drivers just allocate a mask, set the data and pass the mask
to the server. The actual storage type of the mask is hidden from the
drivers.
The new calls for drivers are:
valuator_mask_new() /* to allocate a valuator mask */
valuator_mask_zero() /* to reset a mask to zero */
valuator_mask_set() /* to set a valuator value */
The new interface to the server is
xf86PostMotionEventM()
xf86PostButtonEventM()
xf86PostKeyboardEventM()
xf86PostProximityEventM()
all taking a mask instead of the valuator array.
The ValuatorMask is currently defined for MAX_VALUATORS fixed size due to
memory allocation restrictions in SIGIO handlers.
For easier review, a lot of the code still uses separate valuator arrays.
This will be fixed in a later patch.
This patch was initially written by Chase Douglas.

The X server uses this directory to store the compiled version of the
current keymap and/or any scratch keymaps used by clients. The X server
or some other tool might destroy or replace the files in this directory,
so it is not a safe place to store compiled keymaps for long periods of
time. The default keymap for any server is usually stored in:
X<num>-default.xkm
where <num> is the display number of the server in question, which makes
it possible for several servers *on the same host* to share the same
directory.
Unless the X server is modified, sharing this directory between servers on
different hosts could cause problems.
