Fix video restarting sync issue

There is a video start/stop sync issue inbetween ikvm server and
ikvm manager because newClient and clientGone callbacks are called
by a different thread from libvncserver. To fix this issue, this
commit moves the video.start() call from server to manager to
unify video control thread.

Tested:
  Open KVM web page and reload the web page by pressing F5.
  KVM page should be reloaded correctly.

OpenBMC IpKVM Server

The obmc-ikvm application is a VNC server that provides access to the host graphics output. The application interfaces with the video device on the BMC that captures the host graphics, and then serves that video data on the RFB (remote framebuffer, also known as VNC) protocol. The application also interfaces with the BMC USB gadget device to pass HID events from the BMC to the host, allowing the user to interact with the host system.

Usage

Once the host is running and an appropriate HID gadget device is instantiated on the BMC, the application can be started with the following command: obmc-ikvm -v <video device path> -i <HID gadget device path>

For example:

obmc-ikvm -v /dev/video0 -i /dev/hidg0
