Add the ability to specify media.role for pulse output plugin

This is useful in multiple mpd instances scenario, or multiple pulse outputs defined on the same mpd instance.
It is actually a more flexible way to route flows than the "sink" parameter, letting the PulseAudio routing do its job, but with the ability to isolate routing for each output.

If not specified, the role remains like it was before this commit, ie "music"

- Specifies the name of the PulseAudio sink :program:`MPD` should play on.
* - **media_role ROLE**
- Specifies a custom media role that :program:`MPD` reports to PulseAudio. Default is "music". (optional).
* - **scale_volume FACTOR**
- Specifies a linear scaling coefficient (ranging from 0.5 to 5.0) to apply when adjusting volume through :program:`MPD`. For example, chosing a factor equal to ``"0.7"`` means that setting the volume to 100 in :program:`MPD` will set the PulseAudio volume to 70%, and a factor equal to ``"3.5"`` means that volume 100 in :program:`MPD` corresponds to a 350% PulseAudio volume.
