H264Libav: Use nearest-neighbour sampling in scaler
sws_getCachedContext will set a default sampling method if 0 is passed
to the flags argument. This means that when it is called again, the
flags argument will not match the flags in the context, so a new one
will be allocated every time.
To get around this problem, we assign an explicit sampling method, one
that also happens to be more efficient and just as good for this
use-case as the default one, which is bicubic interpolation.

Unfortunately, the fixed GnuTLS doesn't consider static linking. So we

Avoid XKeysymToString() conflict with libX11
We implement our own version of this, and because of this we carry our
lookup table generated by the same tool that libX11 uses. Unfortunately,
that table is a global symbol and as such there might be a mismatch of
which table should be used.
Make sure we get our own copy by changing the name of it. We use a
define rather than modifying ks_tables.h as that file is automatically
generated.

vncsession: use /bin/sh if the user shell is not set
An empty shell field in the password file is valid, although not common.
Use /bin/sh in this case, as documented in the passwd(5) man page, since
the vncserver script requires a non-empty SHELL environment variable.

Be more careful with ComparingUpdateTracker pointer
As of 28c3f12, we might now be running the frame clock even without a

Automatically pick a suitable DRI3 render node

Add basic DRI3 support
This provides buffer sync with the primary render node of the system (if
available). By doing so, OpenGL and Vulkan can use the render node for
acceleration.
This first implementation is extremely pessimistic and synchronises
buffers whenever there's even a slight chance they will be used.

Avoid VNC updates for offscreen windows
Windows aren't always directly shown, e.g. when the desktop is
composited. We should not be sending screen updates for these as the
framebuffer didn't actually change.
In the case of CopyWindow, we're even sending the wrong screen data,
which is how this bug was discovered.

Slow down fake clock when no clients
Run the frame clock at a slow 1 Hz if there are no clients connected.
This is similar to what a normal X server does when the screen is
blanked, and should keep applications waiting for the frame tick happy.
Note that we still only keep the frame clock running if there is any
application that are interested in it. Otherwise we still stop it
completely.

Keep frame clock running if waiting for frame tick
If there is something interested in synchronizing to a frame tick, then
keep the frame clock running, even if there are no updates.
This is need mainly when something starts rendering, but also when
something renders much slower than the frame clock (so it is essentially
constantly "starting"). Such an application will not draw anything until
it gets a new frame tick, which it won't get as the frame clock is
waiting for something to start drawing.

Maintain a constant VNCServer/SDesktop connection
The desktop isn't completely paused just because there are no clients,

This is primarily an issue for headless servers, where they need to

generally go completely passive if there are no clients.

Detect conflicting timer rescheduling
Repeating a timer can be done in two ways:
* Returning true from the handler
* Calling start() again in the handler
The latter is useful if you want to change the timer interval.
If both are used, then it becomes ambiguous when the timer should fire
again.
Detect this case and warn about it. Current implementation will respect
the new interval given to start(), rather than the interval set before
running the handler.
