    Allocates new client object. This has to be done before client may
    work. After calling this one must call silc_client_init to initialize
    the client. The `application' is application specific user data pointer
    and caller must free it. The `silc_version' is the application version
    that will be used to compare against remote host's (usually a server)
    version string.  The `application' context is accessible by the
    application by client->application, client being SilcClient.
