Since version 2.32, g_thread_init() is deprecated and a no-op.  Let's
upgrade that (optional) dependency so we can remove all those
g_thread_init() calls.

Auto-stop the IO thread in all error handlers.

Revert to the old API before commit e9e55b08, removing unnecessary
bloat.

Replaces the method Close().

Merge some duplicate code.

Avoid GLib.

Obsolete, our logging library doesn't ues GLib anymore.

Allows forward-declaration.

Prepare to migrate away from GLib.  Currently, we're still using GLib
as a backend.

Use only ConfigData.hxx in plugin sources to reduce header
dependencies.

Replaces GLib's GError.

New GLib versions don't fail.

Deprecated.

Hide the definition from C code, to prepare the transition to C++.

Eliminates explicit global initialisation.

Add GMutex, GCond attributes which will be used by callers to
conditionally wait on the stream.

Remove the (now-useless) plugin method buffer(), wait on GCond
instead.  Lock the input_stream before each method call.  Do the same
with the playlist plugins.

To check for errors without reading.  The decoder thread wants to do
that, before it passes the input stream to the plugin.

To demonstrate the new I/O thread.  libsoup is well-integrated into
the GLib main loop, which made this plugin pretty easy to write.

As a side effect, we have to initialize the I/O thread in all debug
programs that use the input API.

Declaring the global variable _CRT_fmode is a documented hack.  What
an ugly platform!

Major API redesign: don't let the caller allocate the input_stream
object.  Let each input plugin allocate its own (derived/extended)
input_stream pointer.  The "data" attribute can now be removed, and
all input plugins simply cast the input_stream pointer to their own
structure (with an "struct input_stream base" as the first attribute).

This enables valgrind debugging after an error occurred.
