Accidently, MPD has been using several GLib 2.16 functions for a
while, and nobody noticed yet. To simplify the code base, let's bump
the minimum GLib version for MPD to 2.16. That version is old enough,
and it's reasonable to expect users to have it.
The "off_t" type may change when you enable or disable large file
support on 32 bit platforms. This caused severe ABI problems within
MPD when we enabled LFS for the first time: two sources included
config.h and sys/types.h in different order, and had different off_t
sizes - leading to memory corruption because of ABI incompatibility.
This patch attempts to get rid of all public "off_t" uses: it removes
"off_t" from the input_stream ABI/API, and switches to GLib's 64 bit
"goffset" type. This may hurt 32 bit embedded platforms a tiny bit,
but that's not even measurable.
When a received chunk of data has only icy-metadata, there was no
usable data left for input_curl_read() to return, and thus it returned
0 bytes. "0" however is a special value for "end of file" or
"error". This patch makes input_curl_read() read more data from the
socket, until the read request can be fulfilled (or until there's
really EOF).
Added a patch to flush out the last.fm input plugin slightly. It
basically turns it into a wrapper for the appropriate plugin. Most
notably metadata is now extracted.
If a file is removed the library, next time mpd will try to play it it
will result in an error 'ERROR: problems decoding some/file.ogg'.
Nothing is written in log files (verbose mode or not)

This updates the copyright header to all be the same, which is
pretty much an update of where to mail request for a copy of the GPL
and the years of the MPD project. This also puts all committers under
'The Music Player Project' umbrella. These entries should go
individually in the AUTHORS file, for consistancy.
The lastfm input plugin enables MPD to play lastfm:// URLs. This
plugin is not complete yet: it plays only the first song in the
last.fm playlist, and the playlist parser isn't even implemented
properly.
