Get atom identifier by name

Retrieves the identifier (xcb_atom_t TODO) for the atom with the specified name. Atoms are used in protocols like EWMH, for example to store window titles (_NET_WM_NAME atom) as property of a window.

If only_if_exists is 0, the atom will be created if it does not already exist. If only_if_exists is 1, XCB_ATOM_NONE will be returned if the atom does not yet exist.
