Use C functions instead of an ObjC singleton for string operations and move all string related operators to a single header/implementation

This is little more than a stub and will serve as a base for the window displaying the new library

This brings the modern (well, at least current) X11 rendering protocol
for video output (refs #12348).

Compared to plain X11, it can handle scaling and orientation.
Compared to XVideo, it can handle orientation, and can crop correctly
(without bleeding), but it expects packed RGB rather than YCbCr.

Also RENDER would be able to handle SPU blending (and SPU scaling),
though this is left for future work, which neither X11 nor XVideo can.

It has been replaced by avaudiocapture module.

This module is a drop-in replacement for the deprecated QTSound module.
QTSound is based on QtKit framework, which is long deprecated and does
not even exist anymore in current SDKs.

It supports the same feature set as QTSound.

closes #20883

This API will replace the usage of input_thread_t from interface modules. The
player implementation continue to use input_thread_t in private. The goal is to
hide the input_thread_t API when every modules are switched to the player API.

TODO (all need to be fixed, for VLC 4.0):

 - Gapless: API is complete but not implemented (the player can play several
   medias in a row, but without gapless).
 - Position callbacks: still using the input_thread_t position that is really
   imprecise (notified every 250ms minimum, and sometime more, depending on
   pf_demux implementation).
 - Seek/discontinuity callbacks: when seeking, the player can still send
   position of the requested position, the actual position or the next position
   to come. This leads to UI inconsistency.
 - OSD messages should be display from input callbacks but it's not possible
   now since you can't know if the event come from the user or from the core.

To make room for the new playlist.
This playlist_legacy will be removed once all modules are using the new
playlist.

This uses libplacebo's rendering helpers for all video output, on top of
the vulkan graphics API. Some notes:

- The existing fourcc/chroma helpers don't really line up with what the
  libplacebo API expects, or in some cases return values that just don't
  seem to make sense. I was advised against touching them for fear of
  breaking the rest of VLC - so we add our own helpers that give us the
  information in the format we need for libplacebo.

- Not all libplacebo options are mapped. There's no ability to create
  custom filter functions (which libplacebo/mpv support), and there's
  also no support for ICC profiles / 3DLUTs (which libplacebo supports)
  nor for the new color blindness simulation parameters in libplacebo
  v0.6. We also don't map the VLC brightness/hue/gamma/etc. options to
  the libplacebo structs - we could do it for free as part of the video
  decode matrix, rather than needing to insert a CPU filter for it.

- How to create the vulkan surface will depend on the platform (much
  like in opengl), so we move context, surface and device creation into
  a single module (`vulkan/surface.c`) which will be conditionally
  compiled depending on the platform in order to provide support for
  multiple surfaces side-by-side (e.g. x11 and wayland). This does mean
  that the context/device-related options end up being separate per
  platform, but OTOH this is not that bad since different platforms
  might want different e.g. swapchain modes (an example being wayland,
  which can make better use of mailbox rather than fifo).

- libplacebo doesn't have a "configure" step, instead all rendering
  parameters are fully dynamic. So we could call UpdateParams() in our
  module at any point in time when the config values change.
  Unfortunately, there's no easy way for us to find out when this is the
  case, so right now changing the vulkan module options requires a
  module reinit to take effect. In theory we could change this. (As an
  aside: calling var_Inherit* per frame does work to get us the changes
  in "realtime", as soon as the user clicks "save", but this may block
  for arbitrary amounts of time so I was advised against doing it)

Due to the new functions, structs and enum members used, the minimum
libplacebo version has been bumped up to v0.5.0. In theory we could also
try and support v0.4.0 with some #ifdefs, but v0.5.0 has been out for
several months now so it should be a safe requirement.

Recommendation TR-06 which defines an ARQ based UDP transmission protocol
for real-time streaming over lossy networks (internet, wifi, etc).

Decklink vout backport, so
this is the currently the only support

Replaced by ce263157c68c9e9b6b212a69eb03f1e8caa860d4

There does not appear to be any real user. The "broadcast"
functionality can be reproduced more simply with the LibVLC media
player API. The "VoD" functionality does not make much sense outside of
the VLC executable process.

Please write a new one in Rust!

Move to 21st century!

This better matches the naming scheme, as WindowController is typically
used to have one designated window which is controlled.

Most of the code is still the same.

Removes the long unused Winamp/SHOUTcast directory stream filter for
playlist handling, which was mostly useful together with the service
discovery (modules/services_discovery/shout.c) which is not present
anymore.

Too many #ifdef's, not to mention different effective license.

Replaced by the faster i420_nv12 filter.

This is superseded by the compat tdestroy() replacement, which is also
available outside of libvlccore.
