On linux-rt, kernel IRQ threads are configured with priority=50, and
this change configures MPD somewhat below that priority, leaving some
room for other programs to be configured in between.

Without requesting the property, "good" WebDAV servers would not send
it, and so MPD could never recognize a directory, failing the database
update.

Apparently, libmpcdec sets gain/peak variables to zero if they are not
present. This clashes with our formula and results in bogus values
which cause noise during playback.

This commit adds a PlaylistPlugin attribute "as_folder" which for now
is only enabled in the "CUE" playlist plugin (which handles separate
"*.cue" files). If a playlist with this flag set is being scanned
during database update, it will be parsed and its contents will be
added to the database. This allows clients to inspect them like
directories and its contents will be searchable.

The new Response instance in the `catch` block didn't have the
`command` attribute set, so the error response didn't indicate which
command had failed, which however is required in the MPD protocol.

SID files are generally collections of tunes, so a SID name field makes
sense as an MPD album. The SID tune information list (STIL) has name
and title fields for individual tunes, when such are known, but MPD is
currently not using the STIL.
High Voltage SID Collection (HVSC) metadata fields are encoded in
windows-1252, as described in DOCUMENTS/SID_file_format.txt:

If utf-8 transcoding fails, or the ICU library is unavailable, fall
back to plain ASCII and replace other characters with '?'.
Version 10.2+0.93+1 was released five years ago in 2014 and is the
first version to feature cdio_cddap_free_messages(). There is no way
to check the libcdio-paranoia version at compile time, so let's just
remove support for older versions instead of attempting to fix the
cdio_cddap_free_messages() check at build time.

This reverts commit f7ed7446ae4be9226de554d6d75a14a9fb71dd7c. It was
a bad idea, because MAD_F_MIN and MAD_F_MAX do not represent the
clamping limits, but the theoretical minimum and maximum values of the
mad_fixed_t data type.

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"
The check IsSeekableCurrentSong() was added by commit
44b200240f1f4b8394dd2e58fec72da3d3ec448f in version 0.20.19, but it
caused a regression: by doing the branch only if the current song is
seekable, the player would restart the current song if it was not
seekable, and later the initial seek would fail; but we already know
it's not seekable, and so we should fail early.
Applying software volume to S16 samples means several bits of
precision are lost; at 25% volume, two bits are lost. Additionally,
dithering adds some noise.
The problem gets worse when you apply the software volume code twice:
for the software mixer volume, and again for the replay gain. This
loses some more precision and adds even more dithering noise, which
can become audible (see
https://github.com/MusicPlayerDaemon/MPD/issues/542).
By converting everything to 24 bit, we need to shift only two bits to
the right instead of ten, losing nearly no precision, and dithering is
not needed. Even if the output device is unable to play S24 directly,
we can convert back to S16 with only one stage of dithering.
