libsmbclient is not thread-safe nor reentrant.  We must protect all
function calls with a global mutex, unfortunately.

Merge duplicate code.

Don't duplicate the MIME type when it gets passed to a std::string.

The name "spt" didn't make much sense for this plugin.

[mk: modified to use MultiSocketMonitor instead of SocketMonitor]

Users now have to call Close() explicitly.  This simplifies using the
class, as most users have automatic socket management already, and
Steal() had to be used often.

I've created an elementary input plugin that plays sound from the
soundcard, so you can use MPD to listen to anything connected to the
line-in jack, or to Video4Linux FM radio cards that send audio through
the soundcard.  There has been a small number of posts here in the
past requesting line-in input, so here is a first, simplistic stab at
it.

The patch adds a new sheme, alsa://, which causes mpd to play data
read directly from a souncdard.  It defaults to hw:0,0, but you can
pass any ALSA device name in the URI.  So, using mpc for example:

 mpc add alsa://
 mpc play

will play from device hw:0,0.

To use a diffferent device:

 mpc add alsa://hw:1,0

Replaces GLib's g_str_has_prefix().

Allows big-endian users to configure the fallback byte order to
little-endian.  Without this setting, MPD assumes native byte order if
the CD drive can't decide.

Fixes a crash bug.  See code comment.

Migrate from the old curl_multi_perform() API to the newer
curl_multi_socket_action() API (since CURL 7.16).

This allows working around a bug with HTTP redirections with epoll:
when CURL closes a socket and the new one happens to have the same
file number, MPD did not have a chance to remove the old one from
epoll and subsequently attempted to use EPOLL_CTL_MOD, which was not
allowed by epoll, because it's a new socket now.

Move all global variables there, and keep just one global variable:
the pointer to the CurlMulti instance.  Prepares for the next commit.

Unused.

Eliminate some complicated code that's not worth the trouble.

Replaces the loop in input_curl_find_request().
