Move from db/DatabaseGlue.cxx, eliminating global variable.

Database update was randomly broken due to these uninitialized
variables.

Fixes loading database songs from state file (regression by commit
29072797).

Don't use the global variables from the DatabaseSimple library.

Remove dependency on the DatabaseSimple library.

Reduce global variable usage, move to frontend code.

Reduce overhead.  LightSong can always point to the "real" allocated
string.

Playlist file name first, to be consistent with the other functions in
this library.

This is already being done by FixSeparators(), called from

Don't use global variable.

Useless information.

Call GetDatabase() only once.

The proxy plugin has now implemented the "idle" event listener.

Reduce overhead, don't duplicate the string.

Reduce overhead.

Move global variables into the new classes.  That may allow multiple
update threads for multiple databases one day.

Allows the kernel to combine timer wakeups with other processes,
reducing power usage.
