No CamelCase in the file name.  The output_buffer struct is going to
be renamed to music_pipe.  There are so many buffer levels in MPD, and
calling this one "output buffer" is wrong, because it's not the last
buffer before the music reaches the output devices.

Include only headers which are really used.

Give player.c a better name, meaning that the code is used to control
the player thread.

This is the last of the three variables.  Now we don't need
playerData.h anymore in most sources.

This releases several include file dependencies.  As a side effect,
"CHUNK_SIZE" isn't defined by decoder_api.h anymore, so we have to
define it directly in the plugins which need it.  It just isn't worth
it to add it to the decoder plugin API.

Now that "dc" is available here, we don't have to pass it to
decoder_is_idle() and decoder_is_starting() anymore.

PlayerControl.command replaces the old attributes play, stop, pause,
closeAudio, lockQueue, unlockQueue, seek.  The main thread waits for
each command synchronously, so there can only be one command enabled
at a time anyway.

OutputBuffer should be a more generic low-level library, without
dependencies to the other headers.  This patch adds the field
"notify", which is used to signal the player thread.  It is passed in
the constructor, and removes the need to compile with the decode.h
header.

Much of the existing code queries all three variables sequentially.
Since only one of them can be set at a time, this can be optimized and
unified by merging all of them into one enum variable.  Later, the
"command" checks can be expressed in a "switch" statement.

We had functions names varied between
outputBufferFoo, fooOutputBuffer, and output_buffer_foo

That was too confusing for my little brain to handle.
And the global variable was somehow named 'cb' instead of
the more obvious 'ob'...

All of our main singleton data structures are implicitly shared,
so there's no reason to keep passing them around and around in
the stack and making our internal API harder to deal with.

This at least makes the argument list to a lot of our plugin
functions shorter and removes a good amount of line nois^W^Wcode,
hopefully making things easier to read and follow.

It actually increases our image size a small bit and may even
hurt performance a very small bit, but makes the code less
verbose and easier to manage.

I don't see a reason for mpd to ever support playing multiple
files at the same time (users can run multiple instances of mpd
if they really want to play Zaireeka, but that's such an edge
case it's not worth ever supporting in our code).

Try to only include headers which are really needed.  We should
particularly check all "headers including other headers".  The
long-term goal is to have a manageable, small API for plugins
(decoders, output) without so many mpd internals cluttering the
namespace.

To do proper cleanup before exiting, we have to provide a destructor
for OutputBuffer.  One day, valgrind will not complain about memory
leaks!

Second patch to make OutputBuffer self-contained: since OutputBuffer
now knows its own size, we do not need the global variable
"buffered_chunks" anymore.

I initially started to do a heavy rewrite that changed the way processes
communicated, but that was too much to do at once.  So this change only
focuses on replacing the player and decode processes with threads and
using condition variables instead of polling in loops; so the changeset
itself is quiet small.

* The shared output buffer variables will still need locking
to guard against race conditions.  So in this effect, we're probably
just as buggy as before.  The reduced context-switching overhead of
using threads instead of processes may even make bugs show up more or
less often...

* Basic functionality appears to be working for playing local (and NFS)
audio, including:
play, pause, stop, seek, previous, next, and main playlist editing

* I haven't tested HTTP streams yet, they should work.

* I've only tested ALSA and Icecast.  ALSA works fine, Icecast
metadata seems to get screwy at times and breaks song
advancement in the playlist at times.

* state file loading works, too (after some last-minute hacks with
non-blocking wakeup functions)

* The non-blocking (*_nb) variants of the task management functions are
probably overused.  They're more lenient and easier to use because
much of our code is still based on our previous polling-based system.

* It currently segfaults on exit.  I haven't paid much attention
to the exit/signal-handling routines other than ensuring it
compiles.  At least the state file seems to work.  We don't
do any cleanups of the threads on exit, yet.

* Update is still done in a child process and not in a thread.
To do this in a thread, we'll need to ensure it does proper
locking and communication with the main thread; but should
require less memory in the end because we'll be updating
the database "in-place" rather than updating a copy and
then bulk-loading when done.

* We're more sensitive to bugs in 3rd party libraries now.
My plan is to eventually use a master process which forks()
and restarts the child when it dies:
locking and communication with the main thread; but should
require less memory in the end because we'll be updating
the database "in-place" rather than updating a copy and
then bulk-loading when done.

* We're more sensitive to bugs in 3rd party libraries now.
My plan is to eventually use a master process which forks()
and restarts the child when it dies:

master - just does waitpid() + fork() in a loop
\- main thread
\- decoder thread
\- player thread

At the beginning of every song, the main thread will set
a dirty flag and update the state file.  This way, if we
encounter a song that triggers a segfault killing the
main thread, the master will start the replacement main
on the next song.

* The main thread still wakes up every second on select()
to check for signals; which affects power management.

The number of buffered chunks can obviously not become negative.  The
"buffered_before_play<0" therefore cannot be useful, so let's remove
it, too.

This patch moves code which initializes the OutputBuffer struct to
outputBuffer.c.  Although this is generally a good idea, it prepares
the following patch.

This will make refactoring features easier, especially now that
pthreads support and larger refactorings are on the horizon.

Hopefully, this will make porting to other platforms (even
non-UNIX-like ones for masochists) easier, too.

os_compat.h will house all the #includes for system headers
considered to be the "core" of MPD.  Headers for optional
features will be left to individual source files.

thread-safety work in preparation for rewrite to use pthreads

Expect no regressions against trunk (r7078), possibly minor
performance improvements in update (due to fewer heap
allocations), but increased stack usage.

Applied the following patches:

* maxpath_str for reentrancy (temporary fix, reverted)
* path: start working on thread-safe variants of these methods
* Re-entrancy work on path/character-set conversions
* directory.c: exploreDirectory() use reentrant functions here
* directory/update: more use of reentrant functions + cleanups
* string_toupper: a strdup-less version of strDupToUpper
* get_song_url: a static-variable-free version of getSongUrl()
* Use reentrant/thread-safe get_song_url everywhere
* replace rmp2amp with the reentrant version, rmp2amp_r
* Get rid of the non-reentrant/non-thread-safe rpp2app, too.
* buffer2array: assert strdup() returns a usable value in unit tests
* replace utf8ToFsCharset and fsCharsetToUtf8 with thread-safe variants
* fix storing playlists w/o absolute paths
* parent_path(), a reentrant version of parentPath()
* parentPath => parent_path for reentrancy and thread-safety
* allow "make test" to automatically run embedded unit tests
* remove convStrDup() and maxpath_str()
* use MPD_PATH_MAX everywhere instead of MAXPATHLEN
* path: get rid of appendSlash, pfx_path and just use pfx_dir
* get_song_url: fix the ability to play songs in the top-level music_directory

playback is stopped completely.  This means the player process will no
longer have to wake up 100 times per second to see if it's been told to
start playing (the main process will just spawn a new player process when
it needs to).  On the downside, this means an extra pair of forks() and the
re-initializing of the player and decode processes each time playback is
restarted.
