A new protocol member is defined that controls the size of rx
buffer allocation per connection. For compatibility 0 size
allocates 4096, but you should adapt your protocol definition
array in the user code to declare an appropriate value.
See the changelog for more detail.
The advantage is the rx frame buffer size is now tailored to
what is expected from the protocol, rather than being fixed
to a default of 4096. If your protocol only sends frames of
a dozen bytes this allows you to only allocate an rx frame
buffer of the same size.
For example the per-connection allocation (excluding headers)
for the test server fell from ~4500 to < 750 bytes with this.

This gets rid of the stack buffer while serving files, and the
PATH_MAX char array that used to hold the filepath in the wsi.
It holds an extra file descriptor open while serving the file,
however it attempts to stuff the socket with as much of the
file as it can take. For files of a few KB, that typically
completes (without blocking) in the call to
libwebsockets_serve_http_file() and then closes the file
descriptor before returning.

- Finalized CMake support (tested on windows only so far).
- Uses a generated lws_config.h that is included in
private-libwebsocket to pass defines, only used if CMAKE_BUILD is set.
- Support for SSL on Windows.
- Initial support for CyaSSL replacement of OpenSSL (This has been added
to my older CMake-fork but haven't been tested on this version yet).
- Fixed windows build (see below for details).
- Fixed at least the 32-bit Debug build for the existing Visual Studio
Project. (Not to keen fixing all the others when we have CMake support
anyway (which can generate much better project files)...)
- BUGFIXES:
- handshake.c
- used C99 definition of handshake_0405 function
- libwebsocket.c
- syslog not available on windows, put in ifdefs.
- Fixed previous known crash bug on Windows where WSAPoll in
Ws2_32.dll would not be present, causing the poll function pointer
being set to NULL.
- Uninitialized variable context->listen_service_extraseen would
result in stack overflow because of infinite recursion. Fixed by
initializing in libwebsocket_create_context
- SO_REUSADDR means something different on Windows compared to Unix.
- Setting a socket to nonblocking is done differently on Windows.
(This should probably broken out into a helper function instead)
- lwsl_emit_syslog -> lwsl_emit_stderr on Windows.
- private-libwebsocket.h
- PATH_MAX is not available on Windows, define as MAX_PATH
- Always define LWS_NO_DAEMONIZE on windows.
- Don't define lws_latency as inline that does nothing. inline is not
support by the Microsoft compiler, replaced with an empty define
instead. (It's __inline in MSVC)
- server.c
- Fixed nonblock call on windows
- test-ping.c
- Don't use C99 features (Microsoft compiler does not support it).
- Move non-win32 headers into ifdefs.
- Skip use of sighandler on Windows.
- test-server.c
- ifdef syslog parts on Windows.
With these explicit casts that are not needed in C, it's possible to build
the test server using g++ like this, after building and installing the
library.

Libwebsockets is fundamentally singlethreaded... the existence of the
fork and broadcast support, especially in the sample server is
giving the wrong idea about how to use it.
This replaces broadcast in the sample server with
libwebsocket_callback_on_writable_all_protocol(). The whole idea of
'broadcast' is removed.
All of the broadcast proxy stuff is removed: data must now be sent
from the callback only. Doing othherwise is not reliable since the
service loop may close the socket and free the wsi at any time,
invalidating a wsi pointer held by another thread (don't do that!)
Likewise the confirm_legit_wsi api added recently does not help the
other thread case, since if the wsi has been freed dereferencing the
wsi to study if it is legit or not will segfault in that case. So
this is removed too.
The overall effect is to push user code to only operate inside the
protocol callbacks or external poll loops, ie, single thread context.

The whole thing about count_protocols + 1 broadcast sockets and

Problems with rx flow control implementation were the underlying cause
of the connection stalling issue that was covered up with the udelay()
patch that was removed recently.
This get rx flow control working properly and corrects problems with
fifo management in the test server mirror protocol code too.
The rxfow control api has been changed to just set a flag, so it's very cheap
to call from user code. After the callbacks that might use the rxflow control
api the flag is checked and any pending actions done.
rx flow control now stops any rx packet coming immediately, with compessed
connections "just what was left in the pipe" might be hundreds of KBytes. To
implement that the current packet being decoded is copied into a malloc'd buffer
by the rx processing code now.
When rxflow is allows to come again, the buffer is drained and freed before any
new packet content is accepted.

Previously we sat and looped to dump a file over http protocol.
Actually that's a source of blocking to the other sockets being serviced.
This patch breaks up the file service into a roundtrip around the poll()
loop for each 512-byte packet. It doesn't make much difference if the
server is idle, but if it's busy it makes sure everyone else is getting
service while the file is sent.
It doesn't try to optimize multiple users of the file or to keep the
descriptor open, the point of this patch is to establish the breaking up
of the file send action into the poll loop.
On the user side, there are two differences:
- context is now needed in the first argument to libwebsockets_serve_http_file()
that's not too bad since we provide context in the callback.
- file send is now asynchronous to the user code, you get a new callback coming
in protocol 0 when it's done, LWS_CALLBACK_HTTP_FILE_COMPLETION
libwebsockets-test-server is updated accordingly.

the -extpoll version of the test server was starting to rot compared to
the test-server.c it was originally based on.
This patch deletes the -extpoll.c version and instead has the test-server.c
source built two different ways in the makefile, once with the define
EXTERNAL_POLL which forces non-fork mode and enables the "by hand"
pollfd array handling. The resulting binary of that is still called
libwebsockets-test-server-extpoll.
Another problem was that the pollfd array length needs to match MAX_CLIENTS, that
now happens during the build.

Previous method of shifting back array by one to cover the deleted
item could be expensive when the list was large and the deleted item
appeared early in it.
This scheme swaps the last guy into the vacant space and reduces the
list size by one.
