Switch man pages to asciidoc.
The docbook xml is unreadable and unwritable. Switch everything to asciidoc, at least thay we we can write man pages without losing sanity. asciidoc seems to have some issues with __libmansuffix__, so instead we just use libmansuffix (without underscores). The current asciidoc version is buggy for multiple man targets (more than one man page in a single file), so stick a big warning into configure that a patch is required to the the right asciidoc->docbook conversion. Many thanks to Dan Nicholson for the Makefile.am. Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>

+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+ The XGrabDevice request actively grabs control of the device
+ and generates DeviceFocusIn and DeviceFocusOut events. Further
+ device events are reported only to the grabbing
+ client.XGrabDevice overrides any active device grab by this
+ client. event_list is a pointer to a list of event classes.
+ This list indicates which events the client wishes to receive
+ while the grab is active. If owner_events is False, all
+ generated device events are reported with respect to
+ grab_window if selected. If owner_events is True and if a
+ generated device event would normally be reported to this
+ client, it is reported normally; otherwise, the event is
+ reported with respect to the grab_window, and is only reported
+ if specified in the event_list.
+
+ If the this_device_mode argument is GrabModeAsync, device event
+ processing continues as usual. If the device is currently
+ frozen by this client, then processing of device events is
+ resumed. If the this_device_mode argument is GrabModeSync, the
+ state of the device (as seen by client applications) appears to
+ freeze, and the X server generates no further device events
+ until the grabbing client issues a releasing XAllowDeviceEvents
+ call or until the device grab is released. Actual device
+ changes are not lost while the device is frozen; they are
+ simply queued in the server for later processing.
+
+ If other_devices_mode is GrabModeAsync, processing of events
+ from other devices is unaffected by activation of the grab. If
+ other_devices_mode is GrabModeSync, the state of all devices
+ except the grabbed device (as seen by client applications)
+ appears to freeze, and the X server generates no further events
+ from those devices until the grabbing client issues a releasing
+ XAllowDeviceEvents call or until the device grab is released.
+ Actual events are not lost while the devices are frozen; they
+ are simply queued in the server for later processing.
+
+ If the device is actively grabbed by some other client,
+ XGrabDevice fails and returns AlreadyGrabbed. If grab_window is
+ not viewable, it fails and returns GrabNotViewable. If the
+ device is frozen by an active grab of another client, it fails
+ and returns GrabFrozen. If the specified time is earlier than
+ the last-device-grab time or later than the current X server
+ time, it fails and returns GrabInvalidTime. Otherwise, the
+ last-device-grab time is set to the specified time (
+ CurrentTime is replaced by the current X server time).
+
+ If a grabbed device is closed by a client while an active grab
+ by that client is in effect, the active grab is released. If
+ the device is frozen only by an active grab of the requesting
+ client, it is thawed.
+
+ XGrabDevice can generate BadClass, BadDevice, BadValue, and
+ BadWindow errors.
+
+ The XUngrabDevice request releases the device and any queued
+ events if this client has it actively grabbed from either
+ XGrabDevice or XGrabDeviceKey. If other devices are frozen by
+ the grab, XUngrabDevice thaws them.XUngrabDevice does not
+ release the device and any queued events if the specified time
+ is earlier than the last-device-grab time or is later than the
+ current X server time. It also generates DeviceFocusIn and
+ DeviceFocusOut events. The X server automatically performs an
+ UngrabDevice request if the event window for an active device
+ grab becomes not viewable.
+
+ XUngrabDevice can generate a BadDevice error.
+
+DIAGNOSTICS
+-----------
+
+ BadDevice
+ An invalid device was specified. The specified device
+ does not exist or has not been opened by this client via
+ XOpenInputDevice. This error may also occur if the
+ specified device is the X keyboard or X pointer device.
+
+ BadValue
+ Some numeric value falls outside the range of values
+ accepted by the request. Unless a specific range is
+ specified for an argument, the full range defined by the
+ argument's type is accepted. Any argument defined as a
+ set of alternatives can generate this error.
+
+ BadWindow
+ A value for a Window argument does not name a defined
+ Window.
