ignore malformed ConfigureNotify with width or height <= 0

This could crash dwm.

cc repro.c -o repro -lX11; ./repro

int
main(void)
{
	Display *d;
	int screen;
	Window root;

	d = XOpenDisplay(NULL);
	if (!d) {
		fprintf(stderr, "XOpenDisplay failed\n");
		return 1;
	}
	screen = DefaultScreen(d);
	root = RootWindow(d, screen);

	XConfigureEvent ce = {0};
	ce.type = ConfigureNotify;
	ce.display = d;
	ce.event = root;
	ce.window = root;
	ce.width = 0;
	ce.height = 0;
	XSendEvent(d, root, False, StructureNotifyMask, (XEvent *)&ce);
	XFlush(d);

	XCloseDisplay(d);

	return 0;
}
