Since we switched from autotools to Meson in commit
94592c14, we don't need to include
`config.h` early to properly enable large file support.  Meson passes
the required macros on the compiler command line instead of defining
them in `config.h`.

This means we can include `config.h` at any time, whenever we want to
check its macros, and there are no ordering constraints.

Yet another C-style vtable replaced with C++.

Hide struct FilteredAudioOutput from the plugins, preparing for hiding
MPD's core internals.

Prepare to add an abstract class AudioOutput, to be implemented by
plugins, to get rid of the C-style vtable.

This eliminates some overhead, because the compiler doesn't need to
consider these functions throwing.

Eliminate dependency on io_thread_get().

Replaces StatFile(), with a portable data object.

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

Make it "const".
