XInput2 is unavailable on some older X servers, some of which only
support 1.1, which is utterly useless for our purposes.  People also
like to turn it off over remote connections because they think it takes
up more bandwidth than Core Input.

So XInput 2 support should remain optional (not only at compile-time,
but also at runtime on a per-display basis).

Thanks.
