reMenu: A rust-enabled reconfigurable menu

Current status

As of now, I am trying to getter a better understanding of X11. There is no functionality and the code is an absolute mess. Besides the lack of structure and good abstraction, there are other issues:

1. X server objects are never freed.
2. There is unwrap everywhere and no error handling.
3. There are no tests.
4. And yeah, there is no logging.
5. It will crash, if not build with latest xcb from github

As I said: This is for learning right now.
