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.

This adds a bit of overhead, but also adds flexibility to the API,
because arbitrary triggers may be invoked from that virtual method
implementation, not just Cond::signal().

The motivation for this is to make the handlers more dynamic, for the
upcoming buffering class utilizing ProxyInputStream.

Closes #173

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

Avoid wasting 4 kB stack per directory level.

Replace InputPlugin attributes.

Replaces the method Close().

Prepare for adding virtual methods.
