default gui

[Antoine Martin]

Provide a friendly GUI so users can start, browse, connect to sessions.
This can be launched automatically when xpra is invoked without any arguments (ie: double-click on xpra.exe, or invoking /usr/bin/xpra)

Related to #1342, #1343

[Antoine Martin]

• r20613: default GUI added
• r20614: minor win32 fixes
• r20615: fallback to "sessions" subcommand if mdns support is not installed

Still TODO: start server dialog using pyxdg, simple checkboxes for clipboard, audio, etc

[Antoine Martin]

• r20617: add start session support
• r20618: move to common location so this is available without client or server builds
• r20619: support starting desktop sessions
• r20620 + r20624: layout tweaks
• r20623: launch feedback via busy cursor
• r20625 + r20626 + r20627 + r20631 + r20632: win32 platform fixes and packaging
• r20628: RPM packaging
• r20629: DEB packaging
• r20630 + r20633: macos packaging

@maxmylyn: FYI, when you run xpra without any arguments (or launch "xpra" from the win32 installer, or open the "Xpra.app" on macos), you will see this now:

And there's a GUI for starting local sessions too:
