The previous code only made sense if one considers buttons and keys to
be mutually exclusive on a device. That is not necessarily true, causing
a number of issues.
This function allocates and fills in the number of xEvents we need to
send the device state down the wire. This is split across multiple
32-byte devices including one deviceStateNotify event and optional
deviceKeyStateNotify, deviceButtonStateNotify and (possibly multiple)
deviceValuator events.
The previous behavior would instead compose a sequence
of [state, buttonstate, state, keystate, valuator...]. This is not
protocol correct, and on top of that made the code extremely convoluted.
Fix this by streamlining: add both button and key into the deviceStateNotify
and then append the key state and button state, followed by the
valuators. Finally, the deviceValuator events contain up to 6 valuators
per event but we only ever sent through 3 at a time. Let's double that
troughput.

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.
