xcb: fix misuse of xcb_send_event

This fixes the following Valgrind warning:

"Syscall param writev(vector[...]) points to uninitialised byte(s)
Uninitialised value was created by a stack allocation"

The xcb_send_event() requires all events to have 32 bytes.
It calls memcpy() on the passed in event. If the passed in
event is less than 32 bytes, memcpy() reaches into unrelated
memory. And as it turns out, this behavior is actually
described in the xcb_send_event function's documentation.

This patch adds a macro that declares an event for safe
usage with xcb_send_event.
