Use [[ ]] delimiter for string in order to prevent interpreting \ as an escape character. This should help fix lua related issues on windows.

Only default to rc.lua if module loading wasn't forced. This still isn't perfect. (And there seems to be an issue in module_need(), wasn't -I intf1,intf2 supposed to first try loading intf1 and fallback to intf2 if intf1 couldn't load? For example -I rc,qt4 should load rc and not qt4, which is the case in 0.8.6 but doesn't seem to be the case in 1.0.0 ... looks like this is due to bb0d7527 removing i_shortcut_bonus)

If the lua rc submodule gets autoselected because it has the higher priority, we need to correctly use it.

This reverts commit 29847260.
I'd rather have a stable lua api (besides, vlclua_gettext is already a noop).

vlc_GetActionId() is used to get an ACTIONID from the action's name, which is way better than getting the hotkey setting from the hotkey name and then, if the hotkey was set, looking up the corresponding action id ... since this also works if the hotkey isn't set. Export this function in lua and use in common.hotkey().

Deprecate the C rc, http and telnet interfaces. They are still available as oldrc, oldhttp and oldtelnet.

When used with no argument (or nil), it adds all automatic stream
filters. When used with an argument, tries to insert the specified
filter only.

Provide playlist._repeat() instead (and keep the old .repeat in case
anybody was using playlist["repeat"] to workaround the reserved keyword
issue).

Fix acl use in http interface. Change default host to 0.0.0.0:8080. The default .hosts file still limits access to default host.

New function vlc.input.item(): returns a pointer to the current input_item

The object returned by vlc.input.item has the following members:
 - item:metas(): similar to vlc.input.metas
 - item:set_meta(name, value): change a meta. Eg: set_meta("artist", "ZZ")

Returns a table with (max.) 17 meta data about the current input

Load a subtitles stream given its URI

Only the RC interface still used it, and it was not really needed
(net_Accept() returns -1 when the object is killed).

...and fix a memory leak in LUA
