These are just simple functions that we should start migrating drivers to using. The end goal is to remove xf86Screens and screenInfo from the ABI. This includes a define XF86_HAS_SCRN_CONV that drivers can ifdef to provide their own copies. I'll probably post a generic compat.h file for drivers later. v2: add asserts.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
