Changed function to first close standard input (this may
fail but we don't care) and then try to open /dev/null (this
may fail but it shouldn't on Unix platforms plus we don't
know what to do in such case anyways).  Since standard input
has the "zeroth" descriptor number next "open" will use it.

Since there is no "/dev/null" on Windows (It's not even
a valid path!) the second step is skipped if WIN32 is
defined.

As a final touch, since the function consists of merely two
function calls it has been moved to header file and declared
static inline.

[mk: un-inline daemonize_close_stdin()]

On Windows only daemonize_close_stdin() function does
something.  Other functions are either empty or generate an
error.  Those have been moved to header file and declared
static inline so compiler can remove the call all together.

The "group" configuration option is similar to "user" as it
sets user set what group MPD shall run as.  With "user"
option, MPD changed GID to the GID of the user, however,
more control could be desired.

Moreover, the patch changes the way of checking whether no
setuid(2)/setgid(2) is required -- previously user names
were compered, now UID and GIDs are compered (ie. the one we
already have (getuid(2)/getgid(2)) with the one we want to
change to).

This updates the copyright header to all be the same, which is
pretty much an update of where to mail request for a copy of the GPL
and the years of the MPD project. This also puts all committers under
'The Music Player Project' umbrella. These entries should go
individually in the AUTHORS file, for consistancy.

This way, we don't have to pass the full "Options" object to
daemonize().

The constructor/destructor functions parse and free the configuration
properly.  This way, we don't have to load the pid file path more than
once.

Moved changeToUser(), cleanUpPidFile(), killFromPidFile() to
daemon.c.  These are daemonization functions.

redirect_stdin() is a daemonization function, and disconnecting from
the standard input is always a good idea for MPD.

Prepare for the migration to the GLib option parser, which uses
gboolean for flags.

"LOG_H" is a macro which is also used by ffmpeg/log.h.  This is
ffmpeg's fault, because short macros should be reserved for
applications, but since it's always a good idea to choose prefixed
macro names, even for applications, we are going to do that in MPD.

When there are standardized headers, use these instead of the bloated
os_compat.h.

Similar to decoder_control.c, output_control.c will provide functions
for controlling the output thread (which will be implemented later).

This function is declared, but is neither used nor implemented.

Instead of having to register each output plugin, store them
statically in an array.  This eliminates the need for the List library
here, and saves some small allocations during startup.

Also rename AudioOutputPlugin to struct audio_output_plugin, and use
forward declarations to reduce include dependencies.

Just like decoder_api.h, output_api.h provides the audio output API
which is used by the plugins.

Get rid of CamelCase, and don't use a typedef, so we can
forward-declare it, and unclutter the include dependencies.

Getting rid of CamelCase; not having typedefs also allows us to
forward-declare the structures.

And again, convert arguments to const.

We want to expose the AudioFormat structure to plugins; remove some
clutter by moving its declaration to a separate header file.

The audio output plugins should get a constant pointer, because they
must not modify the buffer.  Since the size is a non-negative buffer
size in bytes, we should change its type to size_t.

This will make refactoring features easier, especially now that
pthreads support and larger refactorings are on the horizon.

Hopefully, this will make porting to other platforms (even
non-UNIX-like ones for masochists) easier, too.

os_compat.h will house all the #includes for system headers
considered to be the "core" of MPD.  Headers for optional
features will be left to individual source files.

takes a while to respond, the shout output can block until connected
without messing up other audio outputs.

audio at once, so it won't work for us.  The old full API code was still
heavily broken, as each call to pcm_convertSampleRate() used the same
state, even if it was processing two streams of audio.  The new code keeps
a separate state for each audio stream that's being converted.

Some compilers and linkers aren't smart enough to optimize this,
as global variables are implictly initialized to zero.  As a
result, binaries are a bit smaller as more goes in the .bss and
less in the text section.

I'm checking for zero-size allocations and assert()-ing them,
so we can more easily get backtraces and debug problems, but we'll
also allow -DNDEBUG people to live on the edge if they wish.

We do not rely on errno when checking for OOM errors because
some implementations of malloc do not set it, and malloc
is commonly overridden by userspace wrappers.

I've spent some time looking through the source and didn't find any
obvious places where we would explicitly allocate 0 bytes, so we
shouldn't trip any of those assertions.

We also avoid allocating zero bytes because C libraries don't
handle this consistently (some return NULL, some not); and it's
dangerous either way.
