I propose a more radical approach, which is to change -geometry to 
-windowgeometry on all platforms. This means that -geometry is now 
supported everywhere.

What I did not do is remove the hand-made parsing of geometry that is 
used for window-new lfun only on Windows (why?). Can this go away?

The second patch gets rid of QPA_XCB and replaces it with a runtime 
decision depending on current platform. In theory, this would allow for 
cocoa/xcb or win32/xcb binaries (like we have xcb/wayland binaries), 
with some extra work of course.

Thoughts?

PS: the cmake part of second patch is missing, but it is 
straightforward: get rid of QPA_XCB and define HAVE_XCB_XCB_H HAVE_LIXCB 
if they are available.
