vnc: Fix stack corruption and other bitmap related bugs
Commit bc2429b9174ac2d3c56b7fd35884b0d89ec7fb02 introduced a severe bug (stack corruption). bitmap_clear was called with a wrong argument which caused out-of-bound writes to the local variable width_mask. This bug was detected with QEMU running on windows. It also occurs with wine: *** stack smashing detected ***: terminated wine: Unhandled illegal instruction at address 0x6115c7 (thread 0009), starting debugger... The bug is not windows specific! Instead of fixing the wrong parameter value, bitmap_clear(), bitmap_set and width_mask were removed, and bitmap_intersect() was replaced by !bitmap_empty(). The new operation is much shorter and equivalent to the old operations. The declarations of the dirty bitmaps in vnc.h were also wrong for 64 bit hosts because of a rounding effect: for these hosts, VNC_MAX_WIDTH is no longer a multiple of (16 * BITS_PER_LONG), so the rounded value of VNC_DIRTY_WORDS was too small. Fix both declarations by using the macro which is designed for this purpose.
