unix::WindowExt no longer returns pointers for things that aren't actually pointers (#364)

Browse Source 
Fixes #256

`get_xlib_window` and `get_xlib_screen_id` previously returned `Option<*mut c_void>` by
casting integer IDs into pointers, which while producing no functionality issues, is
semantically incorrect and rather surprising. Worse still, the docs for `get_xlib_window`
stated that it was in fact a valid pointer.

Additionally, now all `unix::WindowExt` methods return `std::os::raw` types rather than
`libc` types; note that the two versions of `c_void` are not interchangeable in the eyes of
the compiler, so those wanting the `libc` type will need to explicitly cast.

This is a breaking change, and will require some trivial changes to glutin.

- Add support for `Touch` for emscripten backend.
- Added support for `DroppedFile`, `HoveredFile`, and `HoveredFileCancelled` to X11 backend.
- **Breaking:** `unix::WindowExt` no longer returns pointers for things that aren't actually pointers; `get_xlib_window` now returns `Option<std::os::raw::c_ulong>` and `get_xlib_screen_id` returns `Option<std::os::raw::c_int>`. Additionally, methods that previously returned `libc::c_void` have been changed to return `std::os::raw::c_void`, which are not interchangeable types, so users wanting the former will need to explicitly cast.
