[xcb] Deferred error checking.

XCB avoids the dreaded abort on XError mechanism by forcing the client
to perform deferred error checking. So do so. This allows us to combine
the fire-and-forget rendering model with accurate error checking,
without killing the client or mixing our errors with theirs.

XCB for the win!
