We need several FIFO queues (a queue of packets, a queue of messages,
etc.).
Some of them are implemented using cbuf, a generic circular buffer. But
for recording, we need to store the packets in an unbounded queue until
they are written, so the queue was implemented manually.
Create a generic implementation (using macros) to avoid reimplementing
it every time.
The record file was written from the stream thread. As a consequence,
any blocking I/O to write the file delayed the decoder.
For maximum performance even when recording is enabled, send
(refcounted) packets to a separate recording thread.
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.

Recent versions of meson complain about an option having name starting
with "build_":
> DEPRECATION: Option uses prefix "build_", which is reserved for Meson.
> This will become an error in the future.
Use "compile_" instead.
If --no-control is set, then the controller is not initialized (both in
the client and the server), so it is not possible to control the device
to turn its screen off.
See <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/608>.
Now that scrcpy-server.jar is found in the same directory as the
scrcpy executable, using SCRCPY_SERVER_PATH is not particularly useful
on Windows anymore
