Fix screen sharing

* Make the embedded mode screen sharing a request-each-way rather
   than request-and-reply, since replies time out and so can't wait
   for the user.
 * Try normal screen sharing first, then fall back to using the widget
   API if it fails (for lack of a good way of detecting when we
   should be using the widget API).
