Fix potential segfault (check malloc return value).

Also sizeof(byte_t)^Wsizeof(uint8_t) can only ever be 1, if it is
defined. It's not defined, if char is more than 8 bits, and uint8_t is
not provided, but then VLC will not compile in the first place.

This improves readability a lot and prevent us from reinventing the wheel.

Missing some cases that I could not test.
Also ffmpeg/chroma.c is locked, so I can but leave it broken.
Fix is for the remaining modules is obvious and the issue is easy to detect.

This also seems to make the pre-existing Qt4 crash more obvious.

* Headers in include must contain the structures and prototypes needed
  by the plugins and should be named vlc_*.
* Headers in include/vlc must contain the structures and prototypes
  needed by external libvlc clients

* Moved and renamed some things in headers. 
   - Removed vlc_cpu.h, vlc_error.h (merged in vlc_common)
   - Removed snapshot.h (merged in vlc_vout.h)
   - Removed vlc_spu.h (merged in vlc_osd.h)
   - Removed intf_eject.h and vlc_interaction.h (merged in vlc_interface)
   - Moved all internal headers to src
   - Merged vlc_video.h and video_output.h and move private things to src
   - Removed vlc/intf.h, vlc/aout.h, vlc/vout.h, vlc/decoder.h and vlc/input.h
     (meta headers for use in modules, and often implying too large 
     dependencies)
* Removed some useless dependencies
* Unexported a bunch of functions and structures used only in src/
  (--> Still some work here)
* Finally made input_thread_t and input_source_t (mostly) private. 
  Added input_GetItem to fetch the input_item of an input_thread
* Cleaned up deprecated entries in vlc_symbols.h and bumped up symbol 
  prefix

This commit has a 99% probability of breaking the build, 0.1% of killing
your cat and 0% of getting you hot chicks.

(da big courmischage)

* Each module can declare a "human-readable short name" with set_name
* Modules are sorted by category (set_category, set_subcategory).
  Modules configs can be separated by set_section()
* Separated audio-filter and audio-visual
* Separated extraintf and control
* New command and widget : add_module_list() for comma-separated modules
* Vfilters now use "," as separator

* ALL: removed a bunch of unused add_category_hint().

sorry :)

(but as I'm too tired and it's apero time, round three
will follow later on in the night)

* ALL: Capitalize all preferences text strings

* src/misc/variables.c, ALL: improvements to the object variables api.
   - added another argument to var_Change().
   - added a VLC_VAR_SETTEXT and VLC_VAR_GETTEXT method to var_Change()
     that are used to set/get a friendly name to an object variable.
   - added VLC_VAR_CHOICESCOUNT to var_Change() to be able to retrieve
     the number of availabel choices without having to get their value
     as well.
   - VLC_VAR_ADDCHOICE uses the extra var_Change() argument to assign
     a friendly name to the choice value.
   - VLC_VAR_GETCHOICES retrieves the choices values and their friendly
     names.

* modules/gui/wxwindows/*: first step in implementing menu auto-generation in the wxWindows interface.

* modules/*: sanitization of the modules description strings.

* src/libvlc.h, modules/audio_output: added a global --spdif config option
   to allow using the spdif output by default if available.
* modules/misc/dummy/*: on win32 added a quiet mode that doesn't display
   a dos command box.
* modules/control/rc/rc.c: on win32 enabled the echo mode and the
   backspace key.
* modules/codec/mpeg_audio.c: fixed a sync bug.

indicate wether it is an "advanced" option or not. The goal with this is to
hide the user from all the strange options that very seldom needs to be
changed. added an extra argument to all the add_* macros to indicate wether
the item is advanced or not.
* src/libvlc.h: added an "show advanced options" config option default
disabled
* src/libvlc.c: the advanced options are not listed by vlc --help and
friends unless --advanced is used
* modules/gtk/preferences.c: the gtk/gnome preferences dialog don't show
advanced options unless advanced is set
all: set the advanced flag to VLC_FALSE or VLC_TRUE for all options, by
using some common sense. Please check and correct

note: All interfaces should still work like they used to, see the change in
modules/gtk/preferences.c to find out how to "hide" options.

second note: I think I've changed all the modules, but I could not test
everyone for compilation, expect some broken modules (the fix is to add ",
VLC_TRUE" as last argument to the add_* I forgot)

* Minor fixes.

    * include/audio_output.h: more proper freebsd compilation fix
    * modules/audio_output/oss.c: if /dev/dsp is used, use another output.
