The myfprintf bugs that are fixed here were NOT introduced in the
last patch, it's just that the stricter warning checks from moving
to fprintf caused string format bugs to actually be checked by gcc

This patch massively reduces the amount of heap allocations at
the interface/command layer. Most commands with minimal output
should not allocate memory from the heap at all. Things like
repeatedly polling status, currentsong, and volume changes
should be faster as a result, and more importantly, not a source
of memory fragmentation.
These changes should be safe in that there's no way for a
remote-client to corrupt memory or otherwise do bad stuff to
MPD, but an extra set of eyes to review would be good. Of
course there's never any warranty :)
No longer do we use FILE * structures in the interface, which means
we don't have to allocate any new memory for most connections.
Now, before you go on about losing the buffering that FILE *
+implies+, remember that myfprintf() never took advantage of
any of the stdio buffering features.
To reduce the diff and make bugs easier to spot in the diff,
I've kept myfprintf in places where we write to files (and not
network interfaces). Expect myfprintf to go away entirely soon
(we'll use fprintf for writing regular files).
