Add GMutex, GCond attributes which will be used by callers to
conditionally wait on the stream.
Remove the (now-useless) plugin method buffer(), wait on GCond
instead. Lock the input_stream before each method call. Do the same
with the playlist plugins.
To demonstrate the new I/O thread. libsoup is well-integrated into
the GLib main loop, which made this plugin pretty easy to write.
As a side effect, we have to initialize the I/O thread in all debug
programs that use the input API.
Major API redesign: don't let the caller allocate the input_stream
object. Let each input plugin allocate its own (derived/extended)
input_stream pointer. The "data" attribute can now be removed, and
all input plugins simply cast the input_stream pointer to their own
structure (with an "struct input_stream base" as the first attribute).
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.
