The former is deprecated with C++14. The standard says both are the same:

The contents and meaning of the header<cstddef>are the same as the C
standard library header<stddef.h>,except that it does not declare the type
wchar_t, that it also declares the type byte and its associated
operations (21.2.5), and as noted in 21.2.3 and 21.2.4.

According to the C++11 and C++17 standards, both files are identical.

Makes using the Java glue classes simpler to use, at the cost of very
little overhead.

Since we switched from autotools to Meson in commit
94592c14, we don't need to include
`config.h` early to properly enable large file support.  Meson passes
the required macros on the compiler command line instead of defining
them in `config.h`.

This means we can include `config.h` at any time, whenever we want to
check its macros, and there are no ordering constraints.

So long, autotools!  This is my last MPD related project to migrate
away from it.  It has its strengths, but also very obvious weaknesses
and weirdnesses.  Today, many of its quirks are not needed anymore,
and are cumbersome and slow.  Now welcome our new Meson overlords!

Sometimes, the JVM returns a non-nullptr value with an exception
pending (seen on Android 1.6, maybe a Dalvik bug?).  Let's catch all
such cases.
