Most of the driver enumeration functions take an array and a maximum number of entries that they are allowed to fill in. Upon success, they return the number of entries filled in. This allows them to be easily used to consecutively. One exception is the xf86MatchDriverFromFiles() function, which doesn't return a value, so callers have to manually search the array for the first empty entry. This commit modifies the xf86MatchDriverFromFiles() to behave the same way as others, which makes it easier to deal with.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
