medialibrary 0.12.0

This is a small release with a couple API breaks.
It doesn't bring major new features, and focuses on:
* Providing logger parameters as part of the medialib initialization
* Allow a media to be marked as played without updating its progress

It also hides the conversion of media to external media as an internal
detail, in order to simplify the implementation of entry points removal
for the applications.

medialibrary 0.11.2

This is the second bugfix release for the 0.11.x branch.
 * Album and Genre tracks are now correctly updated when an
   entrypoint is removed from the indexed locations (#432)
 * Album duration will be correctly updated when an entrypoint
   containing some of the album tracks gets unindexed.
 * Only embedded thumbnails are used for video media, cover.jpg files
   and similar are now ignored (#431)

This release bumps the database model to version 36

medialibrary 0.11.1

This is the first 0.11.x bugfix release. It solves a few issues reported

- Fixes an issue when removing a media that had a bookmark associated
  with it (#429)
- Fixes a potential crash when interrupting a discovery to start another
  one (#424)

It also cleans up a bit of code and starts to address the large binary
size.

This update bumps the database model to version 35

MediaLibrary 0.10.1

This version fixes some potential crashes or database corruption:
- An external audio file with multiple tracks would cause a constraint
  violation. This is worked around for now and is properly handled in
  0.11.x

  which would cause them to grow exponentially each time a rescan was
  performed. They are now properly reset to 0

In addition, a few minor fixes and improvements:
- Guessing an unknonwn media type based on its extension was done in a
  case sensitive way. Now it will be performed in a case insensitive way
- .far .669 and .mtm extensions are now recognized
