Users actually expect the "New Media" notification to trigger at each
media addition instead of just the internal ones.

This was reported by the Android team as they are building a remote
access service. Notifying external media creation this way allow them to
update their UI without having to worry if the media is internal or
external. It's simpler that way.

Implements #476

This includes support of all parameters already supported by media
listing queries.

This mainly allow listing the global history via the HistoryType::Global
parameter. Listing audio or video history are specific calls now.

This is needed since we plan to allow listing both network and local
history together.

This prepare the next commits, all the query code is gathered in a
single function now.

VLC made mpga fourcc forwarding more precise. An MP3 file is now
properly described as `mp3 `.
Since this create a difference between vlc3 and vlc4 fourcc CODEC
description, we had to hack the test for proper backward compatibility.

The linux partition to device code was flawed in case of filesystems
mapping a single partition directly at the root without naming it
(eg. `/dev/sdc` being a main disk partition, not `/dev/sdc1`).

Fixes #469

The API is always available in Win8+ even in UWP builds, unlike CreateFileW.
The API is pretty much the same.

This is temporary and should be reverted ASAP.
There's currently an unknown libvlc issue with the win32/64
implementations of the thumbnailer. This issue is being investigated
but shouldn't block all our pipelines.

Failures under windows pipelines shouldn't be ignored and it is better
not to disable the thumbnailer tests, so lets switch the failing jobs to
warnings and check them manually when they fail...

A newer libvlcpp is needed.

There seems to be no justifications to provide a custom count query.
Removing it simplifies a lot the code and allow for easier
QueryParameters support.

To `favoriteOnly` to be more in line with the rest of the
implementation which already used the `favorite` termination.

No functional changes.

Which allows more queryParameter support like `includeMissing` and
`favoriteOnly` effortlessly.

To follow the usual space-before rules and support more QueryParameters
conditions.

This remove the sorting and joining boiler plate code.

To allow selecting the default `SortingCriteria` which was annoying to
do beforehand because of the `const` nature of the `QueryParameters`.

This will be useful to set `Album` sorting as a default for `Artist`
tracks listing.

This is extracted from the Album track listing method which was likely
more used and correctly implemented.
The new sorting technique just take into account album IDs and disc
numbers.
