CVE-2023-5367 / ZDI-CAN-22153: Incorrect size and offset
calculation when prepending to XI device properties.
Two bugs in XIChangeDeviceProperty (and the identical RandR code):
1. new_value.size was set to ``len`` instead of ``total_len``
(new + existing), so the property lost the old data's size.
2. The old_data offset for PropModePrepend used
``prop_value->size`` instead of ``len``, placing old data at
the wrong position and writing out of bounds.
This test sets a property, then prepends to it and reads back
the result. On a fixed server, the property contains all values
in the correct order.
