Xnest: drop hack for building 32bit server against 64bit libs

Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult . requested to merge metux/xserver:submit/xnest-64bit-hack into master

Xnest.h contains a weird historical hack for building 32bit server with 64bit libraries. It redeclares a bunch of stanard X types (eg. from Xdefs.h) to 32 bit size. Those hacks are ugly to maintain and can easily cause trouble (eg. if include order gets mixed up). And it's not at all needed anyways.

Those kind of situations are easily solved, in a much more robust way: just run build the build it in a chroot or container, or do a pretty boring usual crosscompile.

No need to carry special hacks for things that already done out-of-the-box by proper tooling / build environment.
