The old struct config_param remains only for top-level string options.

For type safety and code readability.

Reduce header dependencies.

Eliminate the temporary buffer, do I/O right into the WritableBuffer.

The "loop_count" configuration parameter allows the user to set how
many times a module with backward loops shall loop. "0" (the default)
means a module is not allowed to use backward loops at all. "-1"
enables inifinite looping.

Decouple some more from GLib.

Prepare to migrate away from GLib.  Currently, we're still using GLib
as a backend.

Since Debian package 1:0.8.8.4-4, the pkg-config file does not contain
-I/usr/include/libmodplug anymore, and we need to add the
"libmodplug/" prefix to the #include line.

Hide the definition from C code, to prepare the transition to C++.

Pass a callback table to scan_file() and scan_stream(), instead of
returning a tag object.

Add GMutex, GCond attributes which will be used by callers to
conditionally wait on the stream.

Remove the (now-useless) plugin method buffer(), wait on GCond
instead.  Lock the input_stream before each method call.  Do the same
with the playlist plugins.

Make it X_decoder_plugin.c.

This function replaces the replay_gain_info parameter for
decoder_data().  This allows the decoder to announce replay gain
changes, instead of having to pass the same object over and over.

This patch changes the following decoder plugins to implement
stream_tag() instead of tag_dup():

 faad, ffmpeg, mad, modplug, mp4ff, mpcdec, oggflac

This simplifies their code, because they do not need to take care of
opening/closing the stream.

Remove the data_time parameter from decoder_data().  This patch
eliminates the timestamp counting in most decoder plugins, because the
MPD core will do it automatically by default.
