Remove support for the fragment and WebUtil dep

The only remaining use we had of WebUtil was getConfigVar(). Let's get
rid of that dependency and use our own, query-string-only and richly
commented version of that function. It's easier for people to get an
overview of vnc_lite if it's all in one file.

This commit removes support for the fragment, parameters can only be
passed using the query string from now on.
