dixLookupWindow uses dixLookupDrawable internally, which returns
BadMatch when the XID matches a non-Window drawable.  Users
of dixLookupWindow don't care about this, just that it's not
a valid Window.

This is a generalised version of the fix for X.Org Bug 23562,
where GetProperty was incorrectly returning BadMatch. Auditing other
window requests, all that I checked would incorrectly return BadMatch
in these circumstances.  An incomplete list of calls that could
incorrectly return BadMatch is: ListProperties, SetSelectionOwner,
{Destroy,Map,Unmap}{,Sub}Window.

None of the callers of dixLookupWindow, except for GetProperty, check
for BadMatch
