eca82e09c3 app: add always_on_top
It is very convenient when I play mobile game and watch video at the
same time.

Tested on Linux mint Cinnamon as well as Windows 10.

90a46b4c45 Improve startup time
On startup, the client has to:
 1. listen on a port
 2. push and start the server to the device
 3. wait for the server to connect (accept)
 4. read device name and size
 5. initialize SDL
 6. initialize the window and renderer
 7. show the window

From the execution of the app_process command to start the server on the
device, to the execution of the java main method, it takes ~800ms. As a
consequence, step 3 also takes ~800ms on the client.

Once complete, the client initializes SDL, which takes ~500ms.

These two expensive actions are executed sequentially:

                     HOST              DEVICE
listen on port        |                  |
push/start the server |----------------->|| app_process loads the jar
accept the connection .   ^              ||
                      .   |              ||
                      .   | WASTE        ||
                      .   |  OF          ||
                      .   | TIME         ||
                      .   |              ||
                      .   |              ||
                      .   v              X execution of our java main
connection accepted   |<-----------------| connect to the host
init SDL             ||                  |
                     || ,----------------| send frames
                     || |,---------------|
                     || ||,--------------|
                     || |||,-------------|
                     || ||||,------------|
init window/renderer  | |||||,-----------|
display frames        |<++++++-----------|
(many frames skipped)

The rationale for step 3 occuring before step 5 is that initializing
SDL replaces the SIGTERM handler to receive the event in the event loop,
so pressing Ctrl+C during step 5 would not work (since it blocks the
event loop).

But this is not so important; let's parallelize the SDL initialization
with the app_process execution (we'll just add a timeout to the
connection):

                     HOST              DEVICE
listen on port        |                  |
push/start the server |----------------->||app_process loads the jar
init SDL             ||                  ||
                     ||                  ||
                     ||                  ||
                     ||                  ||
                     ||                  ||
                     ||                  ||
accept the connection .                  ||
                      .                  X execution of our java main
connection accepted   |<-----------------| connect to the host
init window/renderer  |                  |
display frames        |<-----------------| send frames
                      |<-----------------|

In addition, show the window only once the first frame is available to
avoid flickering (opening a black window for 100~200ms).

Note: the window and renderer are initialized after the connection is
accepted because they use the device information received from the
device.

fe21d9dfb5 Move frame updating to screen.c
Replace screen_update() by a higher-level screen_update_frame() handling
the whole frame updating, so that scrcpy.c just call it without managing
implementation details.

6c578b5caa Move screen-related code to screen.c
The file scrcpy.c contains too many different things in addition to the
main logic, so move the screen code to a separate file, screen.c.

2c35220618 Rename screen -> scrcpy -> main
Rename scrcpy.c to main.c (this file handles the command line parsing),
and screen.c to scrcpy.c (it exposes the entry point scrcpy()).

37d88b8a6a Use SDL_bool return type instead of int
Many functions returned an int to indicate their success. For clarity,
use SDL_bool instead.
