We now filter incoming data, which means we can start assuming the
clipboard data is always null terminated. This allows us to clean
up a lot of the internal handling.
The VNC servers aren't great at getting full frames with each update,
so avoid calling it "frames per second" in the statistics as that
can be misleading.
Adds an optional graph to the viewer to display current frame rate,
pixel rate and network bandwidth. Makes it easier to debug and test
performance related issues.
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.
Normally we only display screen changes once we have the updates for
the entire screen. This may give the impression that the viewer is
hung though. So display the partial data if the update is taking to
long to arrive.
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.
Support and use fences in the client. This allows more aggressive use of
update requests as we can now synchronise format changes.

If the client and server are using identical pixel formats, then perform Tight decoding directly into the viewer's back buffer, rather than going through the slow fillRect/imageRect routines.
[Bugfix] Defer all format changes till requested framebuffer updates are
received. Viewer can crash otherwise. Thanks to Jan Gorig for the patch.

Eliminate GCC signed/unsigned warnings related to encodings: The
encoding in the RFB protocol has always been signed, and signed values
are also used in the specification (ie DesktopName = -307 etc). In the
code, however, unsigned types were used in a number of places, but not
all, which causes warnings. This patch fixes the problem by switching
to signed values everywhere.

Implemented support for DesktopName pseudo encoding, which allows
updating the desktop name on the fly.
Tested in ThinLinc since 2008-01-07.
