Remove compatibility with legacy settings format.
The preferences app doesn't need to read and save the settings file:
devices are enumerated and their properties retrieved from the
input_server. When something changes, the input_server updates the data.

Input server now saves keyboard typematic settings whenever they are modified,
instead of wating until it is shutdown (which never happens, either the
system will crash, or the input_server will stay active after a normal shut down)
Same problems might apply to mouse and keymap settings.
Input server shutdown handling should be reviewed.

* Rewrote event handling: instead of writing every single device message to
the event port, they are just queued in a list, and the event loop is only
notified if necessary (ie. if a notification has been sent already, new
events are just queued up until the input_server found the time to process
them).
* This also fixed a big memory leak: every message processed by EnqueueDeviceMessage()
(IOW every key or mouse event) was leaked!
* no longer abuses gInputMethodListLocker to lock the method event queue
(it now uses the standard event queue lock).
* removed the completely superfluous, weird and decelerating event caching mechanism
* tried to find a better distribution of work between _SanitizeEvents(),
_MethodizeEvents(), and _DispatchEvents().
* HandleSetMousePosition() now only does what it's supposed to do (this currently
causes the mouse to jump at the start, though).
* now uses the "Message4" for message sending if available.
* fixed "kb_mouse_settings.h" to include all headers it needs.
* some more cleanup.
