It is replaced by the medialib.

One could be created with a vlc_player instead.

The player is always recordable.

An access/demux is not always recordable, in that case, a sout is inserted
automatically.

And remove now useless processing.lock.

TODO: needs to be documented.

This function doesn't use a background thread, contrary to
libvlc_MetadataRequest(). It will be used by the Medialibrary that has its own
background thread.

Events are not enough, specially when an interface pops in the middle of a
player playback.

This will allow API users to clearly identify vouts.

This will just be used as an identifier for input events. In order to link an
output to an ES track (from the player).

For better debugging

Define constants at the top and internalize some properties

This way, the umbrella file misc.* can be finally removed.

Targetted macOS versions include NSByteFormatter which should be used instead.

This notably fix building libtool, which depends on help2man.
Currently, libtool will fail to find the help2man we built as a
dependency.

Let git find the actual git dir by just providing the path (-C) from
which we want to execute the git command.
