Some people have more than 8 devices (the old limit). It's
pretty easy to support as many as our hardware and OS allows
so we might as well.

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).

In the words of the original author, it was 'crappy'. I tend to
agree :)
The code has also been broken for at least the past few months,
and nobody bothered fixing it
The previous format it was overly complex: 5 lines to describe
each device. The new format is one-line per-device:
audio_device_state:%d:%s
%d - 0 for disabled, any integer for enabled
%s - name of the device as specified in the config file,
whitespace and all
Incompatibilities:
* Output names are now _required_ to be unique.
This is required because the new format relies solely on the
name of the audio device.
Relying on the device IDs internal to MPD was a bad idea
anyways since the user usually has none or very little idea
how they're generated, and adding a new device or removing
one from a config would throw things off completely.
This is also just a Good Idea(TM) because it makes things
less confusing to users when they see it in their clients.
* Output states are not preserved from the previous format.
Not a big deal, since the previous code was never officially
released. Also, it's been broken for months now, so I doubt
anybody would notice :)
