Now that scrcpy-server.jar is found in the same directory as the
scrcpy executable, using SCRCPY_SERVER_PATH is not particularly useful
on Windows anymore
Only keep "turn device screen off" and POWER button.
After we turn the device screen off (with Ctrl+o), turning it back on
does not always work, and leaves the device in a weird state, where even
the power button may not be sufficient:
<https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/175#issuecomment-497946596>
This is not an acceptable behavior, so disable the shortcut to turn the
physical device screen on. We can use the POWER button (or Ctrl+p)
instead.
Add two shortcuts:
- Ctrl+o to turn the device screen off while mirroring
- Ctrl+Shift+o to turn it back on
On power on (either via the POWER key or BACK while screen is off), both
the device screen and the mirror are turned on.

It was already possible to _paste_ (with Ctrl+v) the content of the
computer clipboard on the device. Technically, it injects a sequence of
events to generate the text.
Add a new feature (Ctrl+Shift+v) to copy to the device clipboard
instead, without injecting the content. Contrary to events injection,
this preserves the UTF-8 content exactly, so the text is not broken by
special characters.

On Ctrl+C:
- the client sends a GET_CLIPBOARD command to the device;
- the device retrieve its current clipboard text and sends it in a
GET_CLIPBOARD device event;
- the client sets this text as the system clipboard text, so that it
can be pasted in another application.

The description of scrcpy is "Display and control your Android device".
We want an option to disable display, another one to disable control.
For naming consistency, name it --no-display.
Also change the shortname to -N, so that we can use -n for --no-control
later.
Implement recording to Matroska files.
The format to use is determined by the option -F/--record-format if set,
or by the file extension (".mp4" or ".mkv").
It is very convenient when I play mobile game and watch video at the
same time.
Tested on Linux mint Cinnamon as well as Windows 10.

I could not make Ctrl+'+' and Ctrl+'-' work for every keyboard on every
platform.
Instead, use Ctrl+UP and Ctrl+DOWN (like in VLC) to change the volume.
Fixes <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/103>.
The application is now packaged for Homebrew:
<https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/25173>
Give instructions to install it from Homebrew for macOS (it's much
easier).
Thanks to @stek29 for the formula ;-)
Since _scrcpy_ also supports `adb forward`, remove the part about `adb
reverse`.
Make explicit that _adb_ is included in the prebuilt application for
Windows (many users manually download the platform-tools for no reason).
Document server and client dependencies separately, to avoid unneeded
packages installation when building using the prebuilt server.
Also remove "zip", since it's only used for building a portable version
(which is not documented in README).
Paste computer clipboard to the device on Ctrl+v.
The other direction (pasting the device clipboard to the computer) is
not implemented. It would require a communication channel from the
device to the computer, other than the socket used by the video stream.
We encounter some problems with SDL2_image on MSYS2 (Windows), so
implement our own XPM parsing which does not depend on SDL_image.
The input XPM is considered safe (it's in our source repo), so do not
check XPM format errors. This implies that read_xpm() is not safe to
call on any unsafe input.
Although less straightforward, use SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceFrom() instead of
SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceWithFormatFrom() because it is available with SDL
versions older than 2.0.5.
