Pierre Le Marre c49cbc176a xkb: Fix serialization of key type without level names
Before this commit the count of key type level names was wrongly set
in `XkbGetNames`: for key type without names, it was set to the level
count, while it should be 0:
- `XkbComputeGetNamesReplySize()` does not account key type without
  level names;
- `XkbSendNames()` does not write any level entry for key types without
  level names.

This causes a mismatch offset while parsing the response and its
processing would ultimately fail.

Fixed by setting the correct level name count: 0 if there is no level
name, else the number of levels.

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.
