Don't assume that exwm--connection is non-nil
`exwm-input--exit` could be called (via `exwm-exit`) from `exwm-init`
in case of error when initialising EXWM. It could happen that the bit
that failed when exwm-init is executed was the call to `xcb:connect`,
hence `exwm--connection` would be nil when errors are handled (and
`exwm-exit` is called).

Without this patch, in the case above, the user will see a crash as
there's no method allowing a nil XCB connection object:

  Debugger entered--Lisp error:
  (cl-no-applicable-method xcb:-+request nil #<xcb:SetInputFocus ...

even worse, not even giving the chance to the `warn` call in
`exwm-init`'s error handler to actually inform the user about the
actual problem ("[XELB] Connection timeout", for instance).

* exwm-input.el (exwm-input--exit): Check `exwm--connection' is
set before trying to send requests.
