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).
It was moved to the common code in f8e3b34c6, but it was unreliable
because the state could sometimes get out of sync. Push it back in
to Xvnc since it isn't necessarily something all servers will have.
This redesigns the old "deferred updates" mechanism in to a frame
clock that governs how often updates are sent out. The goal is still
the same, to aggregate updates and avoid pointless updates, all in
the name of efficiency. This model should however be more robust
against delays that sometimes causes us to miss the desired rate.
Restructure Xvnc/libvnc.so code to avoid C++ header hacks
The internal Xorg headers are very incompatible with C++ and we've had
to resort to all kinds of hacks in order to include them in our C++
code. This approach isn't really viable long term so restructure things
so that we have a glue layer written in C that bridges the Xorg core
with the RFB classes.
Make the comparing update tracker a bit more flexible. It can now be in an
"auto" state where it will be enabled until we deem that the client is better
of without it (currently triggered by explicitly stating a low compression
level).

Remove the "video" feature and its associated custom JPEG handling.
Having the client specifiy the video region is conceptually wrong
and a problem like this should be handled by better encoding selection.

Restored the functionality of the VideoPriority parameter. This time, it
should work correctly even over slow networks, when update requests go less
frequently than polling cycles. This version does not give any special
meaning to the value 0, it is equivalent to 1.
