Let the function decoder_replay_gain() update
decoder_control::replay_gain_db instead of letting each decoder plugin

Don't use the global variable "g_playlist".

Reduce access to the global variable "g_playlist".

Move the configuration lookup to Main.cxx.

Use the new HugeAllocator as backend for SliceBuffer and call
HugeDiscard() when the last chunk was returned.

Avoid page faults on MPD startup.  This saves a lot of memory for an

this code is not necessary.

Random access is not necessary here.

.. instead of rolling own classes.

Make valgrind happy.

Move code from client_new() and client_close().
