Move mkfifo from the shell script to server.py #63

And replace the rc.local line with calling the py file. This should help a bit with #62. (A side-effect is that we won't git clone every time we run).

Hi! Thank you for the contribution :) The git clone on start is used as an autoupdate mechanism and I think it shouldn't be disabled, especially in case of important fixes. Maybe we could also put it in server.py with 'os' or with GitPython?

Well it is one of the things package maintainers hate. I want to control the updates of the software myself, not let it call home and download stuff (especially in ArchLinux that was mentioned in #62)

So what I did is revert the change to rc.local. Now we have both options: run the .sh to include the git update, or run the python script directly to run the server without any git calls.

True :/ The proper way would be to make a package for Debian (and Arch ?)
