On windows and linux draw the splash screen in a worker process so that the splash screen is updated properly despite the UI thread being blocked while calibre is starting up. Fixes #1357553 [Splash screen is messed up in calibre 2.05 beta](https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/1357553) Also, draw the messages in the splash screen on an opaque beackground so that they can always be read. Drawing the splash screen in a separate process does not work on OS X so we continue to use the old technique there.
