Allows more modern browsers eg. firefox 5+ to use gtk/broadway
Auto-detects protocol version, and can switch between them at
as you connect a different browser.
This works to some extent, but seems to hang sometimes, for
instance the "button box" test in testgtk never shows up.
The zlib compressed xmlhttprequest thing was a nice hack, but it doesn't
really work in production. Its not portable, doesn't have enought API
(missing notification for closed sockets) and having to synchronize
between two different connections in a reliable way is a pain.
So, we're going everything over the websocket. This is a pure switch,
but after this we want to modify the protocol to work better over
the uncompressed utf8 transport of websockets.
Since we're really only initializing grabs (except for implicit
grabs at least) from the client side we might as well do all the grab
time checks on the client side to avoid unnecassary roundtrips.
Ensure that we're writing all the updates for a single rendering op
in one go without callbacks inbetween. That way some rendering will
be delayed, but the user will never see partial renderings.
The true diff only works if the destination keeps perfect 32bit
canvas data, which is not always true. So, instead we send only
changed pixels, masking the others to 0 via alpha 0.
We put this in gtk+ for now since it will be synced initially, but
it avoids using glib so that it can be used lower in the stack if
required (e.g. in cairo later).
