I will modify module-switch-on-port-available so that it will keep
track of which input and output port the user prefers on the card,
based on the user's profile and port switches. The preference needs
to be saved on disk, for which I will use module-card-restore.
To facilitate communication between the two modules, this patch adds
preferred_input_port and preferred_output_port fields to pa_card, and
a hook for monitoring the variable changes. It would be nice if the
two modules would communicate directly with each other, but
implementing that would be somewhat complicated, so I chose this time
for adding the functionality to the core. In theory some other routing
module might want to manage the new variables instead of
module-switch-on-port-available, but admittedly that's not very likely
to happen...
The relationship between sinks, sources, cards, profiles, and ports
is becoming ever more intertwined, to the point that if you try to
include one file from the other, you're likely to end up with some
weird error somewhere else.
Work around this by creating a new typedefs.h, which does not depend
on anything else, and just creates a few typedefs.
(Can be expanded with more typedefs in the future if the need arises.)

It can be useful for routing modules to know a profile's input
and output parts, in order to e g change output profile
while keeping the input profile unchanged.
For now filling in these fields is optional and a routing module
must be able to handle NULL in these fields.

When setting attribute foo, or in this case the card profile, in my
opinion the thing passed to the set_foo() function should be of the
type of foo, not a string identifier that can be used to search for
the actual foo in set_foo().
This is mostly a question of taste, but there's at least some small
benefit from passing the actual object: often the profile object is
already available when calling pa_card_set_profile(), so passing the
card name would cause unnecessary searching when pa_card_set_profile()
needs to look up the profile from the hashmap.
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.
Generalize the availability flag in order to be used beyond the scope of
ports.
However, pa_port_availability_t is left unchanged to avoid modifying the
protocol and the client API. This should be replaced by pa_available_t
after a validation phase of this new generic enum type.
This forms the base for being able to expose all ports of all
profiles (even inactive ones) to clients.
