The old struct config_param remains only for top-level string options.

.. and move the plugins to src/encoder/plugins/.

Avoid GLib.

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

Replaces GLib's GError.

Make sure the file header gets written at the beginning, before
_write() gets called.

Add the encoder_plugin method end().  This is important for the
recorder plugin.

Some compilers are very picky, but we really aren't interested in the
return value.

config_add_block_param() cannot fail, which makes it easier to use.

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

This patch prepares support for floating point samples (and probably
other formats).  It changes the meaning of the "bits" attribute from a
bit count to a symbolic value.

After we've been hit by Large File Support problems several times in
the past week (which only occur on 32 bit platforms, which I don't
have), this is yet another attempt to fix the issue.

An asterisk means that this attribute should not be enforced, and
stays whatever it used to be.  This way, some configuration values
work like masks.

Don't call g_error(), which will abort the process and dump core.

This patch does not affect all the config_get_X() functions.  These
need some more refactoring.

It makes no difference right now, but we're about to add an endianness
flag and will want to make sure it's correctly initialised every time.

Renamed all remaining CamelCase functions.
