Major restructuring of how streams work. Neither input nor output
streams are now blocking. This avoids stalling the rest of the client or
server when a peer is slow or unresponsive.
Note that this puts an extra burden on users of streams to make sure
they are allowed to do their work once the underlying transports are
ready (e.g. monitoring fds).
Clang doesn't like when struct and class are used to refer
to the same thing interchangeably.

This implements the basic infrastructure for multi-threaded
decoding of rects. However there is just one thread reading data
and one thread decoding it. More logic is needed to safely decode
multiple rects at the same time.
We need to split these steps up in preparation for multi-core
support. Reading needs to be done in a serial manner, whilst
decoding can be done in parallel.
This also involved a rather large cleanup of the Tight decoder.
Delegate decoder object management to a separate class
Done in preparation for multi-core decoding. Keeps the complexity
out of the other classes. This also moves ownership of the
framebuffer in to CConnection. It's the CConnection object that is
aware of the threads and how to synchronise with them. Therefore
the ownership of the framebuffer must also be there to make sure
it isn't deleted whilst threads are working.
Use PixelBuffer objects as the interface for encoders and decoders
This avoid a lot of unnecessary middle men. This also pushes the
responsibility for pixel format conversion into the encoders and
decoders. The new bufferFromBuffer() is used for direct conversion,
rather than PixelTransformer/TransImageGetter.
Encoders/decoders should track the connection object
The connection object is a much more appropriate object for the
decoders and encoders to keep track of. Besides the streams, it also
contains state like connection parameters.
