x11vnc: X11VNC_DISABLE_SSL_CLIENT_MODE option to disable SSL
client role in reverse connections. Improvements to logging in
ultravnc_repeater, ULTRAVNC_REPEATER_NO_RFB option. Increase
SSL timeout and print message if 'repeater' mode is detected for
reverse SSL connection. Fix RECORD scroll XCopyArea detection
with recent gtk/gdk library; set X11VNC_SCROLL_MUST_EQUAL
to disable. Limit logging of RECORD error messages.
