ui: track how much decoded data we consumed when doing SASL encoding
I attempted to fix a flaw with tracking how much data had actually been
processed when encoding with SASL. With that flaw, the VNC server could
mistakenly discard queued data that had not been sent.
The fix was not quite right though, because it merely decremented the
vs->output.offset value. This is effectively to discarding data from the
end of the pending output buffer. We actually need to discard data from
the start of the pending output buffer. We also want to free memory that
is no longer required. The correct way to handle this is to use the
buffer_advance() helper method instead of directly manipulating the
offset value.
