This is just a step toward less recursion.

First this is a fork of the old intel code, and then we only have one
upnp module now

This is completely untested (other than compiling & linking).

This is a little bit more understandable than device numbers.
Unfortunately, hot plug is as flaky as before: udev reports the device
before it is ready. alsa-lib provides no event interface (that I know),
so we have to stick with udev for now though.

Also, alsa-lib is _not_ used to fetch the card name. In my opinion, the
udev vendor string is a lot better. Compare:
- "USB Device 0xccd:0x77" (alsa card name) with
  "TerraTec Electronic GmbH" (udev vendor), or
- "Intel ICH6" (alsa card name) with "Intel Corporation" (udev vendor).

This reverts commit c8a67b80.

freebox luasd is doing a wonderful job now.

lua version doesn't support adding subitems and passing the option over to subitems.
One day the lua libs will be ready to offer feature parity for luafreebox and
this one will be able to go away. But not yet.

The .c file is not yet removed to help transition to lua scripts.

TODO:
 - use application names for input items
 - add an item for the whole desktop,
 - add items for XRandR outputs.

HAL is officially deprecated. The new udev discs module provide the same
functionality in VLC. Moreover, the plugin was waking up the CPU at
regular intervals. Last, InitDeviceValues seemed to cause problems with
wrong disc paths being saved to vlcrc for some people

This implements device discovery with libudev, which is part of the udev
source package (and hence available in any recent Linux distribution).
Both cold and hot plugging (w.r.t. VLC) are implemented.

TODO:
 * V4L1 devices (currently V4L2 is assumed)
 * other subsystems (linux-dvb -> DVB, block -> discs)
 * item removal on unplug
 * better item name and category for non-USB devices

I have modified the original author patch to fix:
- vlc_cancelrestore (mtp).
- libmtp initialisation (race condition).

modules/services_discovery/freebox.c: Create a new service discovery for the french ISP free.fr set top box.

 - Remove a bunch of transition now-useless API.
 - Remove all playlist_Lock* functions. Matching functions now accept a
   b_locked parameter that should be set to VLC_TRUE if the playlist is
   locked when calling the function. The advantages are that it reduces
   the API bloat and that the b_locked flag can be propagated in the
   call stack
 - Remove useless playlist testsuite
 - Remove broken daap plugin (unmaintained wrt VLC API changes, relies on 
   an unmaintained library, probably unable to read content from new itunes, 
   ...). Implementations exist in rhythmbox, xmms2 and 
   daap-sharp, we should see if a proper lib exists or if we could 
   make one
 - Reduce verbosity a bit
 - Documentation
