This reverts commit a9c3f2fb0f.
It has been recently agreed that ports should somehow have some physical
meaning, leading to the port merge in module-bluetooth-device.
With this assumption in mind, it is very unlikely that a card would
add or remove ports dynamically. Therefore, the core can be simplified
by removing the support for this.
The revert affects the code added to module-card-restore in commit
a1a0ad1af2, which can now be partially
removed.

Some cards are capable to announce if a specific profile is available or
not, effectively predicting whether a profile switch would fail or would
likely succeed. This can for example be useful for a UI that would gray
out any unavailable profile.
In addition, this information can be useful for internal modules
implementing automatic profile-switching policies, such as
module-switch-on-port-available or module-bluetooth-policy.
In particular, this information is essential when a port is associated
to multiple card profiles and therefore the port availability flag does
not provide enough information. The port "bluetooth-output" falls into
this category, for example, since it doesn't distinguish HSP/HFP from
A2DP.
The previous patch removed module-gconf's dependency on the userdata
pointer of the free callback, and that was the only place where the
userdata pointer of pa_free2_cb_t was used, so now there's no need for
pa_free2_cb_t in pa_hashmap_free(). Using pa_free_cb_t instead allows
removing a significant amount of repetitive code.
In practice there is always at least one profile, and I
don't think there will ever be cards without profiles.
Therefore, I added assertions to pa_card_new() stating that
the card new data must always contain at least one profile.
Now a lot of code can be simplified, because it's guaranteed
that the profiles hashmap and the active_profile field are
always non-NULL.
In my opinion, pa_card_set_profile() should assert that name
is not NULL, and it would be the job of the client interface
to filter out NULLs from the client input, but this is done
this way also when setting sink and source ports, so for
consistency I'll do this this way for now.
This forms the base for being able to expose all ports of all
profiles (even inactive ones) to clients.

This will allow modules to know when a card profile has changed
and take appropriate action. This might prove useful when developing
UCM so that the appropriate verb can be set.
