vnc: tight add PNG encoding

Introduce a new encoding: VNC_ENCODING_TIGHT_PNG [1] (-269) with a new
tight filter VNC_TIGHT_PNG (0x0A). When the client tells it supports the Tight PNG
encoding, the server will use tight, but will always send encoding pixels using
PNG instead of zlib. If the client also told it support JPEG, then the server can
send JPEG, because PNG will only be used in the cases zlib was used in normal tight.

This encoding was introduced to speed up HTML5 based VNC clients like noVNC [2], but
can also be used on devices like iPhone where PNG can be rendered in hardware.
