The define to set would be WINAPI_FAMILY, and it is set by default already.
We should not set it though, as it would prevent us from using forbidden APIs (e.g. winsock).

Close #8410

module_list_get() can return NULL, callers cannot assume that the table
is NULL-terminated (NULL is not NULL-terminated table).

Also do not save garbage, especially pointers, in the plugin cache.

Until config_GetPszChoices() learns to load modules when needed, any
module with a list callback must be loaded at all times.

The code previously assumed that plugins with list callbacks also had
action callbacks. This is not true.

On Linux, this simplifies the code and improves relocability.
On Windows, OS/2 and MacOS, this should fix a small race condition.

Re-license almost all of libVLC and libVLCcore to LGPLv2.1+

This move was authorized by the developers, either:
 - by e-mail,
 - by vote at the VideoLAN Dev Days 2011,
 - on the license website,
 - in a contract, oral or written.
No objection was raised, so far.

It is possible, that some minor piece of code was badly tracked, for
some reasons (SVN, mainly) or that some small developers did not answer.
However, as an "œuvre collective", defined as in "CPI 113-2 alinéa 3",
and seeing "Cour. Cass. 17 Mai 1978", and seeing that the editor and
the very vast majority of developers have agreed (> 99.99% of the code,
> 99% of developers), we are fine here.

No need to load the config file twice anymore.

The lock is static anyway (and so is the data).

The plugins cache now contains plugins file path relative to the base
plugins directory (the directory that contains plugins.dat). The cache
can hence be generated from a different absolute directory than the one
it is later installed to.

For native or emulated native builds, this enables build-time cache
generation.

Note however that the relative paths are different in the build tree
(modules/*/.libs/lib*_plugin.*) and in standard installation
(plugins/*/lib*_plugin.*). The cache cannot be copied from the build
tree to the installation directory.

This is more flexible and extensible.

This avoids going through the linked list of modules. This is fine so
long as the module structure is indeed not in the list.

This should ease later implementation of proper error handling.

Again, this should help fix leaks in error paths.

Modules are created at initialization and destroyed at exit (after all
VLC threads are terminated) There is no need to count references.
