"Fullscreen", or more correctly "Full-screen", refers to the
adjective. In this case, we want the tooltip of the full-screen button
to refer to the noun "Full Screen" as this seems to be the convention.
These are used via CSS, which means the browser doesn't load them until
an element actually gets those CSS rules. There can be some delay to
this loading which causes visual glitches. By preloading we can make
sure those images are cached and ready when the status bar appears.
This change adds the following:
a) A new button on the UI to enter full pointer lock mode, which invokes
the Pointer Lock API[1] on the canvas, which hides the cursor and
makes mouse events provide relative motion from the previous event
(through `movementX` and `movementY`). These can be added to the
previously-known mouse position to convert it back to an absolute
position.
b) Adds support for the VMware Cursor Position pseudo-encoding[2], which
servers can use when they make cursor position changes themselves.
This is done by some APIs like SDL, when they detect that the client
does not support relative mouse movement[3] and then "warp"[4] the
cursor to the center of the window, to calculate the relative mouse
motion themselves.
c) When the canvas is in pointer lock mode and the cursor is not being
locally displayed, it updates the cursor position with the
information that the server sends, since the actual position of the
cursor does not matter locally anymore, since it's not visible.
d) Adds some tests for the above.
You can try this out end-to-end with TigerVNC with

Fixes: #1493 under some circumstances (at least all SDL games would now
work).

Add several single and multitouch gestures to simulate various mouse
actions that would otherwise be impossible to perform.
This replaces the old system where you could select which mouse button
a single touch would generate.
This was done a bit arbitrarily before which could easily miss things,
end up in the wrong state and not trigger animations correctly.
This reverts commit c12e5b2b54 and fixes
things in a different way.
Very few browsers are left in the wild that supports modules but not
"nomodule", so let's simplify our handling a bit.
Safari 10 supports modules but not 'nomodule', this means that this
particular version of Safari will be broken. Due to this we have to
bump up the required Safari version to 11.
* Change copyright header
This updates the copyright header to say "The noVNC Authors". People
who previously had copyright listings are now under the AUTHORS file.
Firefox currently has a bug where it prefers the SVG icon over a
more exact size. This results in a poorly rendered, downscaled icon.
So disable the SVG icon until this has been fixed.

Give the canvas proper focus handling. This avoids messy logic that
needs to disable and enable event handling when we want to interact
with other UI elements.
It also makes sure we can properly inhibit the browser from triggering
local actions on key presses.
The browsers currently do not default to same-origin behaviour for
modules, so we need to be explicit in order for necessary
credentials to be passed along. This seems to be changing though,
but we need to wait for the browsers to actually roll out more
lenient defaults:

The control bar can be dragged to the other side, this isn't obvious
however. This adds a hint on the opposite side in the form of a subtle
glowing half-ellipse.
