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

Make it "const".

Prepare to migrate away from GLib.  Currently, we're still using GLib
as a backend.

Replaces GLib's GError.

Pass audio_output objects around instead of void pointers.  This will
give some more control to the plugin, and prepares for non-blocking
audio outputs.

Allow enabling the plugin explicitly without running Solaris, to test
the build.

Move the "extern" declarations from output_list.c, for more type
safety.

This patch prepares support for floating point samples (and probably
other formats).  It changes the meaning of the "bits" attribute from a
bit count to a symbolic value.

After we've been hit by Large File Support problems several times in
the past week (which only occur on 32 bit platforms, which I don't
have), this is yet another attempt to fix the issue.

Added the "fd_util" library, which attempts to use the new thread-safe
Linux system calls pipe2(), accept4() and the options O_CLOEXEC,
SOCK_CLOEXEC.  Without these, it falls back to FD_CLOEXEC, which is
not thread safe.

This is particularly important for the "pipe" output plugin (and
others, such as JACK/PulseAudio), because we were heavily leaking file
descriptors to child processes.
