vnc: track & limit connections

Also track the number of connections in "connecting" and "shared" state
(in addition to the "exclusive" state).  Apply a configurable limit to
these connections.

The logic to apply the limit to connections in "shared" state is pretty
simple:  When the limit is reached no new connections are allowed.

The logic to apply the limit to connections in "connecting" state (this
is the state you are in *before* successful authentication) is
slightly different:  A new connect kicks out the oldest client which is
still in "connecting" state.  This avoids a easy DoS by unauthenticated
users by simply opening connections until the limit is reached.
