rawmidi devices expose the card number via IOCTLs, which allows to
find the corresponding device in sysfs.
The sequencer provides no identifing data. Chromium works around this
issue by scanning rawmidi as well as sequencer devices and matching
them by using assumtions, how the kernel register sequencer devices.
This changes adds support for exposing the card number for kernel clients
as well as the PID for user client.
It supports kernels with and without the required support.

Instead of keeping modified asound.h and asequencer.h, copy the files
in the kernel include/uapi/sound as is, and give some renames for
avoiding conflicts with alsa-lib's definitions.
Some structs, unions and typedefs in asound.h and asequencer.h are
once renamed in local.h before inclusion, then renamed back again.
A bonus by this action is that some local codes don't have to refer to
sndrv_xxx any longer. However, some codes like src/seq/seq.c need
explicit cast because of unavoidable conflicts of struct types.
Another significant change is that now snd_pcm_sw_params.period_event
field is removed. Instead, try to access the last reserved field
internally.

Remove obsoleted sequencer instrument layer from alsa-lib.
The old symbols are compiled in as default as dummy functions
(unless --disable-old-symbols is given to configure) so that
the old binaries can still work more or less.
Add four new information flags SNDRV_SEQ_PORT_TYPE_HARDWARE, _SOFTWARE,
_SYNTHESIZER, _PORT for sequencer ports. This makes it easier for apps
like Rosegarden to make policy decisions based on the port type.
Remove several memory leaks by not aborting prematurely from a
snd_xxx_close() function when some operation fails.
This can happen when a USB device was unplugged.

- increased the protocol version to 1.0.1.
the function itself still exists for compatibility
but protected by DOC_HIDDEN.
- a bit more comments about snd_seq_free_event.
- since alsa.m4 used snd_seq_create_event for checking libasound,
now it's replaced with snd_ctl_open.
- changed snd_config_get_id function to follow semantic of other get functions
- added snd_config_test_id
- added runtime pointer type (not persistent)
- added snd_config_make_pointer, snd_config_set_pointer, snd_config_get_pointer
- added type/contents checking for callback functions
- changed 'void *private_data' to 'snd_config_t *private_data'
- renamed card_strtype functions to card_driver
Control:
- fixed passing parameters to snd_ctl_async
Async handlers:
- added public snd_async_handler_get_signo function
Documentation:
- moved all documentation to source files
