Accept a cfg as an argument as an alt way to start the viewer

The user can specify a tigervnc configuration file as an argument to the
viewer. Previously the viewer assumed this to be a server, but now we
will first check if there is any file matching the given argument. If
so, try to load the content of that file, like we normally do.

Fixes issue #38.

omitted. So for example ":1" means display number 1 on the same machine, and
"snoopy" means "snoopy:0" i.e. display 0 on machine "snoopy".

As another quick way to start a connection to a VNC server, specify a .tigervnc
configuration file as an argument to the viewer, e.g.:

.RS
vncviewer ./some.tigervnc
.RE

where './some.tigervnc' is an existing and valid TigerVNC configuration file.
The file name needs to include a path separator. Additional options may be
given too, but the given configuration file will overwrite any conflicting
parameters.

If the VNC server is successfully contacted, you will be prompted for a
password to authenticate you. If the password is correct, a window will appear
showing the desktop of the VNC server.
