Accept a range of ports to listen to, so that it does not fail if
another instance of scrcpy is currently starting.
The range can be passed via the command line:
scrcpy -p 27183:27186
scrcpy -p 27183 # implicitly 27183:27183, as before
The default is 27183:27199.
Closes#951 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/951>
Expose an option to configure how key/text events are forwarded to the
Android device.
Enabling the option avoids issues when combining multiple keys to enter
special characters, but breaks the expected behavior of alpha keys in
games (typically WASD).
Fixes <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/650>
To packetize the H.264 raw stream, av_parser_parse2() (called by
av_read_frame()) knows that it has received a full frame only after it
has received some data for the next frame. As a consequence, the client
always waited until the next frame before sending the current frame to
the decoder!
On the device side, we know packets boundaries. To reduce latency,
make the device always transmit the "frame meta" to packetize the stream
manually (it was already implemented to send PTS, but only enabled on
recording).
On the client side, replace av_read_frame() by manual packetizing and
parsing.

The FPS counter was called only on new frames, so it could not print
values regularly, especially when there are very few FPS (when the
device surface does not change).
To the extreme, it was never able to display 0 fps.
Add a separate thread to print framerate every second.
The socket used the device-to-computer direction to stream the video and
the computer-to-device direction to send control events.
Some features, like copy-paste from device to computer, require to send
non-video data from the device to the computer.
To make them possible, use two sockets:
- one for streaming the video from the device to the client;
- one for control/events in both directions.
The cleanup is not linear: for example, the server must be stopped and
its sockets must be shutdown after the stream and controller are stopped
(so that they don't continue processing garbage), but before they are
joined, to avoid a deadlock if they are blocked on a socket read.
Simplify the spaghetti-cleanup by keeping trace of initialization at
runtime.
Compositor bypass is meant for fullscreen games consuming lots of GPU
resources. For a light app that will usually be windowed, this only
causes unnecessary compositor suspends, especially visible (and
annoying) with complying window manager like KWin.

Replace the "global" control flag in the input_manager by a function
parameter to make explicit that the behavior depends whether
--no-control has been set.
The SDL video subsystem is not necessary if we don't display the video.
Move the sdl_init_and_configure() function from screen.c to scrcpy.c,
because it is not only related to the screen display.
The description of scrcpy is "Display and control your Android device".
We want an option to disable display, another one to disable control.
For naming consistency, name it --no-display.
Also change the shortname to -N, so that we can use -n for --no-control
later.
Limit source code to 80 chars, and declare functions return type and
modifiers on a separate line.
This allows to avoid very long lines, and all function names are
aligned.
(We do this on VLC, and I like it.)
The decoder initially read from the socket, decoded the video and sent
the decoded frames to the screen:
+---------+ +----------+
socket ---> | decoder | ---> | screen |
+---------+ +----------+
The design was simple, but the decoder had several responsabilities.
Then we added the recording feature, so we added a recorder, which
reused the packets received from the socket managed by the decoder:
+----------+
---> | screen |
+---------+ / +----------+
socket ---> | decoder | ----
+---------+ \ +----------+
---> | recorder |
+----------+
This lack of separation of concerns now have concrete implications: we
could not (properly) disable the decoder/display to only record the
video.
Therefore, split the decoder to extract the stream:
+----------+ +----------+
---> | decoder | ---> | screen |
+---------+ / +----------+ +----------+
socket ---> | stream | ----
+---------+ \ +----------+
---> | recorder |
+----------+
This will allow to record the stream without decoding the video.
The order of cleanup was not the reverse as the initialization order. As
a consequence, recorder_destroy() could theoretically be called even if
recorder_init() failed.
