Implement a threaded VNC server using the producer-consumer model.
The main thread will push encoding jobs (a list a rectangles to update)
in a queue, and the VNC worker thread will consume that queue and send
framebuffer updates to the output buffer.
The threaded VNC server can be enabled with ./configure --enable-vnc-thread.
If you don't want it, just use ./configure --disable-vnc-thread and a syncrhonous
queue of job will be used (which as exactly the same behavior as the old queue).
If you disable the VNC thread, all thread related code will not be built and there will
be no overhead.

This will allow to implement the threaded VNC server in a
more cleaner way.

Profiling with callgrind seems to show that a lot of time is spent
in the palette code (mostly due to memory allocation and qdict to int
conversion).
This patch adds a VncPalette implementation. The palette is stored
in a hash table, like qdict, but which does way less memory allocations,
and doesn't suffer from the QObject overhead.

Disable png filters for lower compression levels. This should lower
the CPU consumption and reduce encoding time.
This isn't in tight_conf because:
* tight_conf structure must not change, because it's shared with other
tight implementations (libvncserver, etc..).
* it'd exceed the 80 col limit.
* PNG_ macros are only defined if CONFIG_VNC_PNG is defined

Introduce a new encoding: VNC_ENCODING_TIGHT_PNG [1] (-269) with a new
tight filter VNC_TIGHT_PNG (0x0A). When the client tells it supports the Tight PNG
encoding, the server will use tight, but will always send encoding pixels using
PNG instead of zlib. If the client also told it support JPEG, then the server can
send JPEG, because PNG will only be used in the cases zlib was used in normal tight.
This encoding was introduced to speed up HTML5 based VNC clients like noVNC [2], but
can also be used on devices like iPhone where PNG can be rendered in hardware.

For the same reason that we don't use vnc-authentication-sasl.c but
vnc-auth-sals.c. Because it's tooooo long.

Move sdl, vnc, curses and cocoa UI into ui/ to cleanup
the root directory. Also remove some unnecessary explicit
