The previous error messages did not support Unicode characters. This
commit will use UTF-8 encoding to be able to display error messages in
every language.
This allows Xvnc to build with xorg-server 1.20.7, which requires OS
layers to implement a ddxInputThreadInit function when configured with
--enable-input-thread (the default).

There might be more bytes left in the current TLS record, even if
there is nothing on the underlying stream. Make sure we properly
return this when we aren't being requested to block.
When used with -fg we expect the startup script to remain running until
the session is over. This will not happen if the session command is put
in the background using &.
Our fast paths assume that each channel fits in to a separate byte.
That means the shift needs to be a multiple of 8. Start actually
checking this so that a client cannot trip us up and possibly cause
incorrect code exection.

We use a lot of lengths given to us over the network, so be more
paranoid about them causing an overflow as otherwise an attacker
might trick us in to overwriting other memory.
This primarily affects the client which often gets lengths from the
server, but there are also some scenarios where the server might
theoretically be vulnerable.

Provides safety against them accidentally becoming negative because
of bugs in the calculations.
Also does the same to CharArray and friends as they were strongly
connection to the stream objects.
Otherwise we might be tricked in to reading and writing things at
incorrect offsets for pixels which ultimately could result in an
attacker writing things to the stack or heap and executing things
they shouldn't.
This only affects the server as the client never uses the pixel
format suggested by th server.
Issue found by Pavel Cheremushkin from Kaspersky Lab.
We always assumed there would be one pixel per row so a rect with
a zero width would result in us writing to unknown memory.
This could theoretically be used by a malicious server to inject
code in to the viewer process.
Issue found by Pavel Cheremushkin from Kaspersky Lab.
Move the checks around to avoid missing cases where we might access
memory that is no longer valid. Also avoid touching the underlying
stream implicitly (e.g. via the destructor) as it might also no
longer be valid.
A malicious server could theoretically use this for remote code
execution in the client.
