Oh no, 3413d1bf23 was broken! Instead of passing a number as
"seconds" to the duration constructor, it just abused the duration
constructor as cast operator, which caused custom state_file_interval
settings to be extremely short.
The former is deprecated with C++14. The standard says both are the same:
The contents and meaning of the header<cstddef>are the same as the C
standard library header<stddef.h>,except that it does not declare the type
wchar_t, that it also declares the type byte and its associated
operations (21.2.5), and as noted in 21.2.3 and 21.2.4.

According to the C++11 and C++17 standards, both files are identical.

This reverts commit c84bae739a. A
configuration option is not necessary, because the PcmConvert
constructor knows already whether integer or floating point is needed.
Since we switched from autotools to Meson in commit
94592c1406, we don't need to include
`config.h` early to properly enable large file support. Meson passes
the required macros on the compiler command line instead of defining
them in `config.h`.
This means we can include `config.h` at any time, whenever we want to
check its macros, and there are no ordering constraints.
So long, autotools! This is my last MPD related project to migrate
away from it. It has its strengths, but also very obvious weaknesses
and weirdnesses. Today, many of its quirks are not needed anymore,
and are cumbersome and slow. Now welcome our new Meson overlords!
Previously, there was the setting `buffered_before_play` which
specified a percentage of the audio buffer, defaulting to `10%`. That
was working well enough for quite some time, until high-quality audio
formats became common.
At 44.1 kHz, 16 bit stereo, MPD collected 2.3 seconds worth of data in
the buffer before starting playback. With the same default settings
and 192 kHz, 24 bit stereo, that was only 0.27 seconds.
Making this depend on the byte size only leads to high latency at low
quality, and too little data at high quality. The natural choice
would be to use a duration instead of a byte size, which should give
the same good experience with all audio formats.
Since the `buffered_before_play` configuration setting was not
understood well by users and caused more harm than good, this commit
deprecates it. It has now no effect.
