There are a number of XKB requests needed to request all the information from the X11 server. So far, the code was sending one request and waiting for the reply. This commit starts batching the request so that we get multiple replies with one round trip. This removes three round trips. Only the simple requests are converted. get_map() and get_names() use some bitmasks that are needed for both the request and the reply. These will be dealt with separately.

libxkbcommon
libxkbcommon is a keyboard keymap compiler and support library which processes a reduced subset of keymaps as defined by the XKB (X Keyboard Extension) specification. It also contains a module for handling Compose and dead keys and a separate library for listing available keyboard layouts.
Quick Guide
See Quick Guide.
Building
libxkbcommon is built with Meson:
meson setup build
ninja -C build
To build for use with Wayland, you can disable X11 support while still using the X11 keyboard configuration resource files thusly:
meson setup build \
-Denable-x11=false \
-Dxkb-config-root=/usr/share/X11/xkb \
-Dx-locale-root=/usr/share/X11/locale
ninja -C build
API
While libxkbcommon's API is somewhat derived from the classic XKB API as found in X11/extensions/XKB.h and friends, it has been substantially reworked to expose fewer internal details to clients.
See the API Documentation.
Dataset
libxkbcommon does not distribute a keymap dataset itself, other than for testing purposes. The most common dataset is xkeyboard-config, which is used by all current distributions for their X11 XKB data. More information on xkeyboard-config is available here: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/XKeyboardConfig
The dataset for Compose is distributed in libX11, as part of the X locale data.
Relation to X11
See Compatibility notes.
