1. VNCServerST: Add a timeout to pointer button ownership …

   When one clients holds down a button on the pointer device (probably
   dragging something), other clients' attempts at pointer operations
   are denied. This yields a sane user experience, but with limits.
   
   When one clients starts dragging, and then his network connection fails,
   other clients are denied access to the pointer until the VNC server
   finally discovers that the connection is dead and closes it. This can
   take about 15 minutes.
   
   Add a timeout to this policy: If we don't hear from the client for 3
   seconds, other clients are allowed to control the pointer once more.
   
   This solves the problem that one failing network could make the server
   completely deaf to other clients for a long time.
