Has been moved to class InputStream long ago.

Remove the "whence" parameter that is not actually necessary, and only
complicates the InputStream implementations.

Replace InputPlugin attributes.

Replaces the method Close().

Prepare for adding virtual methods.

Decouple some more from GLib.

Replaces GLib's GError.

Add the interface ArchiveVisitor.

Eliminate input_stream_init() and input_stream_deinit().

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

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.

All close() implementations must call this method.

Major API redesign: don't let the caller allocate the input_stream
object.  Let each input plugin allocate its own (derived/extended)
input_stream pointer.  The "data" attribute can now be removed, and
all input plugins simply cast the input_stream pointer to their own
structure (with an "struct input_stream base" as the first attribute).

Make the input_stream implementation hold a reference on the
archive_file object.  Allow the caller to "close" the archive_file
object immediately, no matter if the open_stream() method has
succeeded or not.

The archive plugin should decide this.
