- Added a 20ms delay between each command sent from the client to LCDproc.

- Better managed errors. Now the client resets the error counter every successful communication session with LCDproc (before was a global counter). The error counter is managed inside the client (lcdproc_client.php).
- Because of the above change, now the "client script" (lcdclient.sh) do not cycle anymore.
