Soon we're going to have three types of memory pools: POSIX shm_open()
pools, memfd memfd_create() ones, and privately malloc()-ed pools.
Thus introduce annotations for the memory types supported and change
pa_mempool_new() into a factory method based on required memory.

In future commits, server-wide SHMs will be replaced with per-client
ones that will be dynamically created and freed according to clients
connections open and close.
Meanwhile, current PA design does not guarantee that the per-client
mempool blocks are referenced only by client-specific objects.
Thus reference count the pools and let each memblock inside the pool
itself, or just attached to it, increment the pool's refcount upon
allocation. This way, per-client mempools will only be freed when no
further component in the system holds any references to its blocks.

FSF addresses used in PA sources are no longer valid and rpmlint
generates numerous warnings during packaging because of this.
This patch changes all FSF addresses to FSF web page according to
the GPL how-to: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
Done automatically by sed-ing through sources.
Instead of spilling thousands of lines of output, make check now runs the
test-suite in about 100 lines or so. If running under make check, the output of
tests is reduced. The MAKE_CHECK environment variable is used for this, so that
when running the test manually, the full output is still shown. Furthermore,
pa_log is used consistently instead of printf, so that all test output goes to
stderr by default. Colored output from make check goes to stdout.
When a test program exits with a nonzero return value (or an assert is hit),
the test is regarded as a FAIL.
This makes `make check` a little more useful.
These are not used for anything at this point, but this
makes it easy to add ad-hoc debug prints that show the
memblockq name and to convert between bytes and usecs.
pa_memblock is now an opaque structure. Access to its fields is now done
through various accessor functions in a thread-safe manner.
pa_memblock_acquire() and pa_memblock_release() are now used to access the
attached audio data. Why? To allow safe manipulation of the memory pointer
maintained by the memory block. Internally _acquire() and _release() maintain a
reference counter. Please do not confuse this reference counter whith the one
maintained by pa_memblock_ref()/_unref()!
As a side effect this patch removes all direct usages of AO_t and replaces it
with pa_atomic_xxx based code.
This stuff needs some serious testing love. Especially if threads are actively
used.

2) Add support to synchronize multiple playback streams
3) add two tests for 1) and 2)
4) s/PA_ERROR/PA_ERR/
5) s/PA_ERROR_OK/PA_OK/
6) update simple API to deal properly with new peek/drop recording API
7) add beginnings of proper validity checking on API calls in client libs (needs to be extended)
8) report playback buffer overflows/underflows to the client
9) move client side recording mcalign stuff into the memblockq
10) create typedefs for a bunch of API callback prototypes
11) simplify handling of HUP poll() events
Yes, i know, it's usually better to commit a lot of small patches instead of a
single big one. In this case however, this would have contradicted the other
rule: never commit broken or incomplete stuff.
