    xnest: Fix needless build dependency on xcb-util-keysyms

    This was added in:

        commit 43014795087a0a8774dd9687f5967329b15f06a2
        Author: Olivier Fourdan <[email protected]>
        Date:   Mon Jan 5 16:44:22 2015 +0100

            Synchronize capslock in Xnest and Xephyr

    Which is fine if you're building both, but if you don't happen to have
    xcb-util-keysyms' headers installed Xnest will configure as enabled but
    fail to build.

    Fortunately <X11/X.h> has a corresponding #define, so use that instead.

I am not fully sure, if the above patches are needed for nxagent. With some quick tests, it seems that CAPS lock is kept in sync between local X and nested X session.

However, we have an with the NUMLOCK key, which may be similar here (needs to be verified): with NUMLOCK, some session managers manipulate the NUMLOCK state (e.g. MATE's session manager). In the remote session NUMLOCK is then enabled, whereas the keys' functionality is that of a keyboard with NUMLOCK disabled.

When disabling NUMLOCK via keyboard then, it actually gets enabled and vice versa.

So, what we need to check is: Is software manipulation of CAPS lock accurately reflected in the nested and the local X11 session.
