Romain Vimont 79278961b9 Implement buffering
To minimize latency (at the cost of jitter), scrcpy always displays a
frame as soon as it available, without waiting.

However, when recording (--record), it still writes the captured
timestamps to the output file, so that the recorded file can be played
correctly without jitter.

Some real-time use cases might benefit from adding a small latency to
compensate for jitter too. For example, few tens of seconds of latency
for live-streaming are not important, but jitter is noticeable.

Therefore, implement a buffering mechanism (disabled by default) to add
a configurable latency delay.

/**
* The clock aims to estimate the affine relation between the stream (device)
* time and the system time:
*
* f(stream) = slope * stream + offset
*
* To that end, it stores the SC_CLOCK_RANGE last clock points (the timestamps
* of a frame expressed both in stream time and system time) in a circular
* array.
*
* To estimate the slope, it splits the last SC_CLOCK_RANGE points into two
* sets of SC_CLOCK_RANGE/2 points, and compute their centroid ("average
* point"). The slope of the estimated affine function is that of the line
* passing through these two points.
*
* To estimate the offset, it computes the centroid of all the SC_CLOCK_RANGE
* points. The resulting affine function passes by this centroid.
*
* With a circular array, the rolling sums (and average) are quick to compute.
* In practice, the estimation is stable and the evolution is smooth.
