It actually increases our image size a small bit and may even
hurt performance a very small bit, but makes the code less
verbose and easier to manage.
I don't see a reason for mpd to ever support playing multiple
files at the same time (users can run multiple instances of mpd
if they really want to play Zaireeka, but that's such an edge
case it's not worth ever supporting in our code).

The select() in the main event loop blocks now (saving us many
unnecessary wakeups). This interacted badly with the threads
that were trying to wakeup the main task via
pthread_cond_signal() since the main task was not blocked
on a condition variable, but on select().
So now if we detect a need to wakeup the player, we write
to a pipe which select() is watching instead of blindly
calling pthread_cond_signal().

Try to only include headers which are really needed. We should
particularly check all "headers including other headers". The
long-term goal is to have a manageable, small API for plugins
(decoders, output) without so many mpd internals cluttering the
namespace.

It is way more complicated than it should be; and
locking it for thread-safety is too difficult.

I initially started to do a heavy rewrite that changed the way processes
communicated, but that was too much to do at once. So this change only
focuses on replacing the player and decode processes with threads and
using condition variables instead of polling in loops; so the changeset
itself is quiet small.
* The shared output buffer variables will still need locking
to guard against race conditions. So in this effect, we're probably
just as buggy as before. The reduced context-switching overhead of
using threads instead of processes may even make bugs show up more or
less often...
* Basic functionality appears to be working for playing local (and NFS)
audio, including:
play, pause, stop, seek, previous, next, and main playlist editing
* I haven't tested HTTP streams yet, they should work.
* I've only tested ALSA and Icecast. ALSA works fine, Icecast
metadata seems to get screwy at times and breaks song
advancement in the playlist at times.
* state file loading works, too (after some last-minute hacks with
non-blocking wakeup functions)
* The non-blocking (*_nb) variants of the task management functions are
probably overused. They're more lenient and easier to use because
much of our code is still based on our previous polling-based system.
* It currently segfaults on exit. I haven't paid much attention
to the exit/signal-handling routines other than ensuring it
compiles. At least the state file seems to work. We don't
do any cleanups of the threads on exit, yet.
* Update is still done in a child process and not in a thread.
To do this in a thread, we'll need to ensure it does proper
locking and communication with the main thread; but should
require less memory in the end because we'll be updating
the database "in-place" rather than updating a copy and
then bulk-loading when done.
* We're more sensitive to bugs in 3rd party libraries now.
My plan is to eventually use a master process which forks()
and restarts the child when it dies:

My plan is to eventually use a master process which forks()
and restarts the child when it dies:
master - just does waitpid() + fork() in a loop
\- main thread
\- decoder thread
\- player thread
At the beginning of every song, the main thread will set
a dirty flag and update the state file. This way, if we
encounter a song that triggers a segfault killing the
main thread, the master will start the replacement main
on the next song.
* The main thread still wakes up every second on select()
to check for signals; which affects power management.

This will make refactoring features easier, especially now that
pthreads support and larger refactorings are on the horizon.
Hopefully, this will make porting to other platforms (even
non-UNIX-like ones for masochists) easier, too.
os_compat.h will house all the #includes for system headers
considered to be the "core" of MPD. Headers for optional
features will be left to individual source files.

thread-safety work in preparation for rewrite to use pthreads
Expect no regressions against trunk (r7078), possibly minor
performance improvements in update (due to fewer heap
allocations), but increased stack usage.
Applied the following patches:
* maxpath_str for reentrancy (temporary fix, reverted)
* path: start working on thread-safe variants of these methods
* Re-entrancy work on path/character-set conversions
* directory.c: exploreDirectory() use reentrant functions here
* directory/update: more use of reentrant functions + cleanups
* string_toupper: a strdup-less version of strDupToUpper
* get_song_url: a static-variable-free version of getSongUrl()
* Use reentrant/thread-safe get_song_url everywhere
* replace rmp2amp with the reentrant version, rmp2amp_r
* Get rid of the non-reentrant/non-thread-safe rpp2app, too.
* buffer2array: assert strdup() returns a usable value in unit tests
* replace utf8ToFsCharset and fsCharsetToUtf8 with thread-safe variants
* fix storing playlists w/o absolute paths
* parent_path(), a reentrant version of parentPath()
* parentPath => parent_path for reentrancy and thread-safety
* allow "make test" to automatically run embedded unit tests
* remove convStrDup() and maxpath_str()
* use MPD_PATH_MAX everywhere instead of MAXPATHLEN
* path: get rid of appendSlash, pfx_path and just use pfx_dir
* get_song_url: fix the ability to play songs in the top-level music_directory

completely stopped. Instead, send them SIGSTOP to pause the process until
they're needed again. Then send them SIGCONT instead of re-spawning them.

playback is stopped completely. This means the player process will no
longer have to wake up 100 times per second to see if it's been told to
start playing (the main process will just spawn a new player process when
it needs to). On the downside, this means an extra pair of forks() and the
re-initializing of the player and decode processes each time playback is
restarted.

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).
