The protocol mandates that playlist URIs are absolute (i.e. full URI
relative to the music directory, not relative to the parent
directory). This adds the parameter "directory" to the "playlist"
visitor method.
Defaulting to "with systemd" causes problems for users who install MPD
as an unprivileged user, and it breaks "make distcheck". It looks
like enabling it by default creates too many practical problems for
unexperienced users.
With --with-systemdsystemunitdir (without a parameter), configure.ac
attempts to auto-detect systemd.
When we have an absolute path that's not inside the music directory,
allow loading it anyway, if we're in "secure" mode (i.e. the client is
connected via UNIX socket).
Right now, a playlist with absolute pathnames can only add songs that
are in the same the directory of the playlist or under it.
If uri is an absolute pathname and base_uri is set,
playlist_check_translate_song() will check that base_uri is a prefix
of uri, excluding every other song in the music directory outside
base_uri.
I think in this case base_uri should be completely ignored (and made
NULL) and uri should just be checked against music root directory.
Previously, the condition "defined(play_audio_format)" was used to see
if an output device has been opened, but if the device had failed on
startup, an assertion failure could occur. This patch adds a separate
flag.

The Naim Uniti does not appear to support icecast-style streaming of FLAC
music but does support the codec from a DLNA server. This change looks for
"transferMode.dlna.org: Streaming" in the HTTP request header and responds
with something the Uniti (and hopefully other DLNA clients) accepts.
The only difference in the DLNA streaming mode is the reponse header and
that icecast metadata is disabled. If a client request indicates both modes
are supported, the DLNA mode is preferred (as the Uniti says it supports
both but then rejects a FLAC ICY stream).
Note: This change may be specific to Naim equipment (the only device it was
tested on). E.g. the hardcoding of Content-Length which works but is not a
logically correct value. The change should be backwards-compatible, so
only those clients requesting a DLNA stream will see any difference.
