The original sidplay project has been mostly unmaintained for nearly
12 years, and the most recent release was in 2016, while the
libsidplayfp project has been actively maintained all the time.
By default, if the parent of a process dies, the process gets SIGHUP
and is supposed to shut down. This however doesn't work for MPD,
because MPD redefines SIGHUP with a different meaning (like most
daemons do).
To work around this, we configure the kernel to send SIGTERM instead
of SIGHUP.

This effectively reverts commit 0f02bbc2fe which was a horrible
kludge for JACK support on Windows. Maintaining this kludge doesn't
seem worth the trouble (the JACK version was never updated), and
apparently nobody uses this.
Fixes a busy loop in BufferingInputStream::RunThreadLocked() because
the method never learns that seeking is ignored, even though the HTTP
stream is already broken and can never be read; nobody cared to check
for errors.

Boost makes building a piece of software much more difficult than
necessary. It's a huge library, and just uncompressing it takes a
considerable amount of time. MPD only used a tiny fraction of it, yet
its header bloat made the MPD build very slow. Locating Boost was
difficult due to its arcane build system and its resistance to use
pkg-config; it's always a special case. MPD could never use features
of newer Boost versions because Linux distributions always shipped old
Boost versions. Boost made everything complicated and slow.
So, finally, after getting rid of GLib (commit ccdb94b06c), switching
to C++ and using Boost (commit 0801b3f495), we've finally get rid of
it 8 years later.
Unfortunately, I had to reimplement parts of it along the way
(e.g. IntrusiveList). Kind of NIH, but on the other hand, compiling
MPD has become much easier for users.
When drop_start_samples and drop_end_samples overlap and are greater
than the actual number of samples, the `num_samples` calculation in
SubmitPCM() could underflow.

The function spl_valid_name() should verify playlist names and prevent
path traversal, but it failed to do so on Windows, because it forgot
to check for backslashes.
This buggy piece of code was already present when stored playlists
were initially implemented in 2006 by commit 08003904d7, and
even during the many rounds of code refactoring, nobody ever bothered
to verify it. D'oh!

snprintf() does not return the (truncated) length actually written,
but the length that would be needed if the buffer were large enough.
This API usage mistake in FormatLastError() can lead to overflow of
the stack buffer, crashing the process (Windows only).

If no archive library was found, return from the "plugins" directory
without creating "libarchive_plugins.a". Empty static libraries are
unsupported on some operating systems such as macOS.
