With libxcb 1.11 as minimal required version we can:
(a) (Maybe) Enable threaded GL for MESA, see QTBUG-67277.
(b) Avoid performance issues described in QTBUG-46017. Bundled xcb libs don't
contain the more modern SHM fd passing APIs. The official binaries use
"-qt-xcb", therefore we were shipping with the performance fix #ifdef-ed out.
(c) Make xcb-xkb a mandatory dependency avoiding issues described in QTBUG-30911.
Issues that appear when Qt was configure with "-no-xkb -xcb-xlib", but
X server has the XKB extension.
(d) Drop all, but xcb-xinput sources from src/3rdparty/xcb/, for which
we need "xcb-xinput >= 1.12". This way we can reduce maintenance
work. The xcb libraries were origianlly bundled because of lack of availability
on supported distributions. This is not the case anymore:
CI for Qt 5.13 has:
Ubuntu 18.04 - libxcb 1.13
RHEL 7.4 - libxcb 1.13
openSUSE 15.0 - libxcb 1.13
CI for Qt 5.12 has:
Ubuntu 16.04 - libxcb 1.11
RHEL 7.4 - libxcb 1.13
openSUSE 42.3 - libxcb 1.11
RHEL 6.x - not relevant because it was dropped from supported platforms.
Why 1.11 (released on Aug, 2014), but not 1.13 (released on March 2018)?
Based on what we have in CI for 5.13 and 5.14 we could update to 1.13,
but it means that Qt would require a very recent version of 3rd party
dependency.
[ChangeLog][Configure][X11] The minimal required version of libxcb now is 1.11.
[ChangeLog][Third-Party Code][X11] Removed all bundled XCB libs, with
the exception of xcb-xinput, which is not available on systems with
libxcb 1.11.
[ChangeLog][Configure][X11] Removed -qt-xcb, -system-xcb, -xkb, -xcb-xinput switches.
[ChangeLog][Platform Specific Changes][X11] XKB and XInput2 now are mandatory
dependencies for XCB plugin. XCB-XKB is a part of libxcb 1.11 releases.
XCB-XInput is not part of libxcb 1.11 releases, but Qt builders can use
-bundled-xcb-xinput switch.

xcb-render is a C interface for X11 extension. xcb-render-util is a
utility library that complements xcb-render by providing convenience
functions and interfaces which make the raw X protocol more usable.
Bumped xcb-render-util version to avoid having include hacks. We were
bundling 8 years old release 0.3.8 (Apr, 2011). 0.3.9 is the latest
release and it was relesed 4,5 years ago (Jun, 2014). All CI machines
have 0.3.9. The only thing that have changed in xcb-render-util sources
since 2011 is that we don't need to have various hacks to include
xcb_renderutil.h in C++ files. Upgrading bundled XCB libs was also
requested in QTBUG-71109.

The added xcb-xinput code was produced by build of libxcb 1.13
with xcb-proto 1.13.
The following parts were removed from it:
- Pointer Barriers API (requires xcb-xfixes 1.9 with xcb-proto 1.9)
- SendExtensionEvent API (requires definition of xcb_raw_generic_event_t
from libxcb 1.13)
[ChangeLog][Third-Party Code] Sources of xcb-xinput 1.13 were bundled and
are available via -qt-xcb.

...and update bundled xcb sources to libxcb 1.9.1 with xcb-proto 1.8.
These are the minimal versions of libxcb and xcb-proto available
on officially supported platforms (they are present on RHEL 6.6).
Remove support_libxcb_versions_where_xcb_sumof_not_available.patch
and revert it for xkb.c, because libxcb 1.9 implements xcb_sumof().
This change makes it easier to bundle xcb libs from newer versions
of libxcb (e.g. xcb-xinput).

Some of the xcb- libraries we depend upon are not (yet) common across
distributions. This is problematic for binaries that should be working
on different distributions. The patch mitigates this by:
Adding the files from
libxcb-proto (version 0.1.6), compiled with libxcb-1.5
xcb-util (version 0.3.9)
xcb-util-image (version 0.3.9)
xcb-util-keysyms (version 0.3.9)
xcb-util-renderutil (version 0.3.8)
xcb-util-wm (version 0.3.9)
from xcb.freedesktop.org/dist to src/3rdparty/xcb.
Adding a configure option '-qt-xcb' to use the sources instead of
linking to the respective runtime libraries.
