Changed emacsclient to open new frames by default.

lib-src/emacsclient.c (decode_options): Handle the case when $DISPLAY
is an empty string.  Set window_system or tty to one by default,
depending on if there is a valid display.
(longopts, decode_options, print_help_and_exit): Removed -w, added -c.

 *** Emacsclient has been extended to support opening a new terminal
     frame (see -t option).
 
+*** The behaviour of Emacsclient has been changed to open a new Emacs
+    frame by default.  Use the -c option to get the old behavior of
+    opening files in the currently selected Emacs frame.

 *** A make-frame-on-tty function has been added to make it easier to
     create frames on new terminals.
