Bug #915 is about an I/O exception thrown where none was allowed,
leading to crash via std::terminate().  However, instead of catching
and logging the error inside the decoder plugin, it should be able to
propagate the I/O error to the MPD core, so MPD can avoid trying other
decoder plugins.

Introduced in C++17. It replaces gcc's warn_unused_result.

The formula did not consider the channel count.

Add a `constexpr` constructor and several `constexpr` methods to
construct a DecoderPlugin at compile time, in a way which allows
adding new methods later without having to edit each plugin.

Eliminates a number of allocations, because callers don't need to copy
the strings to a newly allocated buffer only to null-terminate them.
And most callers don't need to have a null-terminated string.

Variable-length arrays are a C-only feature.

These are used by DSD-streaming servers.  For example, MiniDLNA uses
"audio/x-dsd".

The scan methods must be "noexcept".

Replaces decoder_data() and others.

Replaces decoder_initialized().

Prepare for a Decoder API redesign based on an abstract class with
virtual methods.

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