ui: avoid sign extension using client width/height


Pixman returns a signed int for the image width/height, but the VNC
protocol only permits a unsigned int16. Effective framebuffer size
is determined by the guest, limited by the video RAM size, so the
dimensions are unlikely to exceed the range of an unsigned int16,
but this is not currently validated.

With the current use of 'int' for client width/height, the calculation
of offsets in vnc_update_throttle_offset() suffers from integer size
promotion and sign extension, causing coverity warnings

    unsigned) is promoted in "vs->client_width * vs->client_height *
    vs->client_pf.bytes_per_pixel" to type "int" (32 bits, signed), then
    sign-extended to type "unsigned long" (64 bits, unsigned).  If
    "vs->client_width * vs->client_height * vs->client_pf.bytes_per_pixel"
    is greater than 0x7FFFFFFF, the upper bits of the result will all be 1.
979             vs->client_width * vs->client_height * vs->client_pf.bytes_per_pixel;

Change client_width / client_height to be a size_t to avoid sign
extension and integer promotion. Then validate that dimensions are in
range wrt the RFB protocol u16 limits.
