This is a temporary addition to libvlcjni.
VLC-Android is working on adding podcasts to the app, and the podcast parser from vlc is limited.
As podcasts don't really have any standard, we are going to need a podcast parser that can easily be patched everytime we find a new syntax.
By moving this lua podcast parser to libvlcjni we can avoid the long merge times required in the core project.
Once the script is stabilized we can moved it to vlc/share/lua/playlist.
