Alon Levy 80caf07e09 [0.8 branch] server: add main_dispatcher
add main_dispatcher, a message passing mechanism for sending messages to
the main thread. The main thread is the thread that implements
SpiceCoreInterface, which is assumed to be a single thread.

Similar to the async operation of red_worker, a socket pair is created
and used to pass messages. The messages are a fixed size to ease
parsing. A single message is defined to pass a channel_event.

RHBZ: 746950
FDBZ: 41858

This patch is 0.8 branch only, for the master branch there should be a
better approach to share code with red_dispatcher and ready the way for
later adding more threads.

/*
* Main Dispatcher
* ===============
*
* Communication channel between any non main thread and the main thread.
*
* The main thread is that from which spice_server_init is called.
*
* Messages are single sized, sent from the non-main thread to the main-thread.
* No acknowledge is sent back. This prevents a possible deadlock with the main
* thread already waiting on a response for the existing red_dispatcher used
* by the worker thread.
*
* All events have three functions:
* main_dispatcher_<event_name> - non static, public function
* main_dispatcher_self_<event_name> - handler for main thread
* main_dispatcher_handle_<event_name> - handler for callback from main thread
* seperate from self because it may send an ack or do other work in the future.
