Santiago Gimeno 4508f9e93d Change createClient signature 
- The new signature is:

  createClient(options, initCB), where
     - options is an optional object that defines different parameters such as
               display, etc.
     - initCB is an optional callback with the signature: function(err, display)
- The initCB is going to be called with an error ONLY if the connection to the X
  server fails. Further errors in the server connection will be 'emitted'.
- Update tests and test-runner.js accordingly.
- Update README.
