Revert "XI2proto.txt: grabbing a slave does not detach it anymore."
Detaching a slave device during an explicit grab makes sense from a UI
perspective. It allows a client to get exclusive access to a device without
that device's events also feeding into the respective master device.
Thanks to Thomas Jaeger for his contribution.
This reverts commit d0b1e55b876a29a7c820ec12d7b9cb5e081e1944.
