This allows keeping the ALSA PCM open even if playback is paused. As
a side effect, this allows using the "always_on" option with ALSA
outputs, because "always_on" pauses the output.

This commit adds the `SHOWMOVEMENT` [tag](https://picard-docs.musicbrainz.org/en/appendices/tag_mapping.html#show-work-movement-4). Historically, this tag originates from iTunes' MP4, but has since become widely used. It is created by Picard's Classical music [plugins](https://picard-docs.musicbrainz.org/en/variables/variables_classical.html) (such as "Classical Extras" or "Work & Movement").
The reasoning behind this tag is to display Work & Movement titles without redundant information and in a more uniform way. Moreover, it additionally serves as an implicit marker denoting classical music tracks (genre tags aren't sufficient).
If the client so chooses to support this tag, they can display `Work` and `Movement` instead of the track title allowing for cleaner display. Other clients can continue to display the `%title%` as before without any fuss.
There were a few macOS related bug reports on the bug tracker which
have been open for years without a volunteer caring for them. The
GitHub actions build has also been broken for a long time due to bugs
in the ancient LLVM toolchain shipped with macOS, making macOS an
unsuitable non-Linux target for testing MPD's portability.
All of this makes macOS support an annoying liability for me. To
avoid more frustration, I'm hereby dropping macOS support completely
from MPD. Maybe this causes enough pain for a new maintainer to
spawn, but maybe nobody cares, so... let's see.
libmad hasn't been maintained for many many years, while libmpg123 is
still maintained.
Our "mad" plugin can't do streams, but MPD will automatically fall
back to "mad" (or "ffmpeg") for streams.

Since the very beginning when idle subscriptions where introduced
(commit 0bad84066b), waiting for a certain idle mask would clear
all other idle flags as well. This would cause idle events to get
lost.

Previously, inode numbers were truncated to 32 bits, which could lead
to problems on XFS where inodes are 64 bit; this could lead to bogus
"recursive directory found" errors during database update.

The three new compare operators "eq", "gt" and "lt" are casting the values to int.
Sort supports:
- uri: sort by uri
- value: sort by value as string
- value_int: casts value to int
Closes#1894
Some ALSA capture devices can have very large buffers, holding 10
seconds or more audio. Using the maximum buffer size with such
devices leads to unacceptably large, and unnecessary, latency.
Also, some ALSA drivers (e.g. HDA Intel PCH) report an invalid
maximum period size, and the period size that mpd calculates from
the maximum buffer size results in "Invalid argument" error when
applying the hw_params. Note that the "default" capture device on
many cards includes the "dsnoop" plugin which imposes a buffer
size of 16384 frames, so that "alsa://" works OK but
"alsa://plughw" or "alsa://hw" both fail.
Limit the maximum buffer time for ALSA input devices to a more useable
2 seconds, thereby avoiding both the above problems.
6d91b5c7b2 ("fix double promotions") changed
how LAME peak values are decoded, producing large incorrect values that
cause some MP3 files to play silently.
Restore the original decode from MAD fixed-point format to double and
document what it's doing.
Fixes#1823
This eliminates all `Storage::GetInfo()` calls from
`UpdateWalk::PurgeDeletedFromDirectory()` and instead uses a "marker"
field to mark items that have been visited; later, all unmarked items
can be deleted.
This eliminates a lot of redundant I/O which is noticable with the
`curl` storage plugin (i.e. WebDAV).
Let OnHeaders() check the status.
The status checking code was added by commit 4f021cbced in 2011,
but in 2008, commit a8e81326d0 enabled `CURLOPT_FAILONERROR`, which
means the status checking code never had any effect.
This allows `LoadExcludeListOrLog()` to hide boring "404 Not Found"
log messages via `IsFileNotFound()`.
