Closes#4924.
Based on patches of the past, such as this work by James Cloos in July
2010:
d7d98751b7,
as well as code comments in the Perl module X11::Protocol::WM
(https://metacpan.org/pod/X11::Protocol::WM) and even the code to Xlib
itself, which taught me that we should never have been using
`XStoreName`, all it does is call `XChangeProperty`, hardcoded to
`XA_STRING`!
What can I say, when the task is old school, the sources are too 😂
A racing reader could read from our fd between SDL_IOReady()/X11_Pending()
and our call to XNextEvent() which will cause XNextEvent() to block for
more data. Avoid this by using XCheckIfEvent() which will never block.
This also fixes a bug where we could poll() for data, even when events were
already read and pending in the queue. Unlike the Wayland implementation,
this isn't totally thread-safe because nothing prevents a racing reader
from reading events into the queue between our XCheckIfEvent() and
SDL_IOReady() calls, but I think this is the best we can do with Xlib.
This API and implementation comes from the Unreal Engine branch of SDL, which
originally called this "SDL_ConfineCursor".
Some minor cleanup and changes for consistency with the rest of SDL_video, but
there are two major changes:
1. The coordinate system has been changed so that `rect` is _window_ relative
and not _screen_ relative, making it easier to implement without having
global access to the display.
2. The UE version unset all rects when passing `NULL` as a parameter for
`window`, this has been removed as it was an unused feature anyhow.
Currently this is only implemented for X, but can be supported on Wayland and
Windows at minimum too.
We don't use it, it was a leftover from 1.2, I think, and it doesn't exist
on Solaris, so this should hopefully fix the build there.
This also means we don't need the configure/cmake checks for
SDL_VIDEO_DRIVER_X11_CONST_PARAM_XEXTADDDISPLAY, so that was removed also.
Fixes#1666.
Use XGetKeyboardControl to initialize the current XKeyboardState, and
skip XAutoRepeatOn invocation if global_auto_repeat is AutoRepeatModeOn.
This fixes SDL2 when the X11 client is untrusted.
It needs to use Bool (which is an int) and not BOOL (which is CARD8), which
causes problems on platforms with different byte order and alignment, etc.
Fixes Bugzilla #4326.

I'm having a very slow initialization of the video subsystem that locks the window creation for about 500 ms ( tested in at least 4 different systems ). What i found is that X11_InitModes_XRandR is using XRRGetScreenResources, that explicitly ask to poll the hardware for changes. This is not really necessary since if the data is already available you can use XRRGetScreenResourcesCurrent.
I attached a tentative patch that fix this issue. With the patch there's no lock when the subsystem is initialized and the window creation is instant in my applications. The patch only uses XRRGetScreenResourcesCurrent in X11_InitModes_XRandR but it could be potentially used in X11_GetDisplayModes and X11_SetDisplayMode.
Patch uses XkbFreeKeyboard to free the memory returned by XkbGetMap.
Earlier implementation called XkbFreeClientMap which frees all the maps
but not data->xkb structure itself, XkbFreeKeyboard will free maps and
the structure.

The patch makes StartTextInput/StopTextInput call Xutf8ResetIC ( https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.5/doc/man/man3/XmbResetIC.3.html ) on the XIC of all SDL windows.
This fixes my use case in Quakespasm (Ubuntu 16.04, system keyboard layout set to German. Type the '^' dead key, which opens Quakespasm's developer console and calls SDL_StartTextInput, then press 'e'. I expect the dead key to be ignored.)
Also, here is a patch for sdl2's "checkkeys" for testing this: https://bugzilla-attachments.libsdl.org/attachment.cgi?id=2451
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
