DoGetImage chops up an image into IMAGE_BUFSIZE strips.
This predates commit [0] (a pull from XFree86 to X.Org), at which time
IMAGE_BUFSIZE was 8k.  Back then the immediate buffers were
allocated with ALLOCATE_LOCAL(), so it made sense to try to keep them
small since at least on some systems, these buffers were allocated on the
stack.

[0] commit ded6147bfb5d75ff1e67c858040a628b61bc17d1
Author: Kaleb Keithley <ka...@freedesktop.org>

    R6.6 is the Xorg base-line

8k would fetch an 1024x864 monochrome screen w/ 32-bit word in just 14
buffers.  But, this was soon deemed too small, and the buffer size was
increased to 64 kB in commit [1], although it was still using
ALLOCATE_LOCAL().

[1] commit d568221710959cf7d783e6ff0fb80fb43a231124
Author: Kaleb Keithley <ka...@freedesktop.org>
Date:   Fri Nov 14 16:49:22 2003 +0000

    XFree86 4.3.0.1

Eventually people realized that alloca() had no error detection, and could
overrun the stack, so and ALLOCATE_LOCAL was killed, replaced by a
succession of heap allocators starting with commit [2]:
  xalloc() -> xcalloc -> calloc().

[2] commit 6e4f5cf83f35ffebb51633ab30b1826e63e37223
Author: Ben Byer <bbyer@bbyer.local>
Date:   Mon Nov 5 05:53:34 2007 -0800

    changing ALLOCATE_LOCAL to xalloc to prevent stack overflow

Since we are now allocating from the heap, there should no longer be
necessary, or desirable to chop up the DoGetImage() buffer.

In theory, we *could* still chop it up as a fallback if the big buffer
allocation fails.  But, if the system is that close to running out of heap
space, it is might be best to just fail quickly.

When copying from a EXA pixmap, this can save a bit of overhead from multiple
EXA prepare/finish access calls.
