This avoids the circular dependency there is from playlist and input item, which creates a dead lock at exit.

objects: Allow certain operations when the object refcount is zero (read, allow certain operations from the object destructor), and make sure we don't return objects that are being destroyed.

This sanitize the circular dependency there is between playlist and input and allow a safe destruction.

vlc_thread_join() and vlc_object_detach() are correctly run from vlc_object_release() now.

threads: Make sure we vlc_thread_join() won't block when run from joined thread using the pthread implementation.

This remove the triplicated id to name conversion and saves many lookups.
It also removes the obnoxious "private" messages.

Should fix #1536

interaction: No need to call vlc_object_join() now.

interaction: Keep a libvlc's global interaction object reference around, and properly release it when done.

objects: Send a vlc_object_kill from vlc_object_destroy() to make sure vlc_object_release() can properly free all the allocated resources when the refcount reach zero.

Previously you need to send a vlc_object_kill() prior to a vlc_object_release() to get your object actually destroyed, which rendered the refcounting unusuable in some cases.

If the media instance owns the input and libvlc_media_instance_release()
is called immediately after libvlc_media_instance_stop(), there is a
chance that we try to free the input resources before the thread is
effectively terminated. To avoid this, we call input_DestroyThread()
instead of vlc_object_release() at the end of release_input_thread() when
the media instance owns the input thread.

(Don't expect this to work yet though)

LoadLibrary can either point to LoadLibraryA or LoadLibraryW depending
on the system and build options, so let's use LoadLibrary everywhere
for consistency. Also, wrap static argument strings with _T() so that
they're automatically in the right format.

In some cases (eg. when building binary packages) one only needs libvlc
and libvlc-control and does not wish to build or install VLC binaries.
This --disable-vlc flag saves us from manually removing the unwanted
binaries after "make install".
