This removes the symdef header generation m4 magic in favour of a
simpler macro method, allowing us to skip one unnecessary build step
while moving to meson, and removing an 11 year old todo!
Currently pulseaudio crashes with an assertion in pa_rtpoll_item_new_asyncmsgq_read()
or pa_rtpoll_item_new_asyncmsgq_write() if a loopback is applied to a tunnel-new
sink or source, because tunnel-{sink,source}-new do not set thread_info.rtpoll.
The same applies to module-combine-sink and module-rtp-recv.
This patch is not a complete fix for the problem but provides a temporary band-aid
by initializing thread_info.rtpoll properly. The rtpoll created is never run, but
loopback and combine-sink nevertheless work, see comments in the code.
This patch does not work for module-rtp-recv, but using rtp-recv with a remote
sink does not seem to make a lot of sense anyway.

The reported latency of source or sink is based on measured initial conditions.
If the conditions contain an error, the estimated latency values may become negative.
This does not indicate that the latency is indeed negative but can be considered
merely an offset error. The current get_latency_in_thread() calls and the
implementations of the PA_{SINK,SOURCE}_MESSAGE_GET_LATENCY messages truncate negative
latencies because they do not make sense from a physical point of view. In fact,
the values are truncated twice, once in the message handler and a second time in
the pa_{source,sink}_get_latency_within_thread() call itself.
This leads to two problems for the latency controller within module-loopback:
- Truncating leads to discontinuities in the latency reports which then trigger
unwanted end to end latency corrections.
- If a large negative port latency offsets is set, the reported latency is always 0,
making it impossible to control the end to end latency at all.
This patch is a pre-condition for solving these problems.
It adds a new flag to pa_{sink,source}_get_latency_within_thread() to allow
negative return values. Truncating is also removed in all implementations of the
PA_{SINK,SOURCE}_MESSAGE_GET_LATENCY message handlers. The allow_negative flag
is set to false for all calls of pa_{sink,source}_get_latency_within_thread()
except when used within PA_{SINK,SOURCE}_MESSAGE_GET_LATENCY. This means that the
original behavior is not altered in most cases. Only if a positive latency offset
is set and the message returns a negative value, the reported latency is smaller
because the values are not truncated twice.
Additionally let PA_SOURCE_MESSAGE_GET_LATENCY return -pa_sink_get_latency_within_thread()
for monitor sources because the source gets the data before it is played.
Bug 96741 shows a case where an assertion is hit, because
pa_asyncq_new() failed due to running out of file descriptors.
pa_asyncq_new() is used in only one place (not counting the call in
asyncq-test): pa_asyncmsgq_new(). Now pa_asyncmsgq_new() can fail too,
which requires error handling in many places. One of those places is
pa_thread_mq_init(), which can now fail too, and that needs additional
error handling in many more places. Luckily there weren't any places
where adding better error handling wouldn't have been easy, so there are
many changes in this patch, but they are not complicated.

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.
The stream is now corked when the sink or source becomes suspended and
uncorked when it's back idle/ready.

When connecting to a remote server your local generated authentication
cookie is used. If remote server's cookie is different from your local
one you aren't allowed to connect. You can use the cookie argument
or define a wider acl in remote server configuration for
module-native-protocol.
The old tunnel module duplicates functionality that is in libpulse,
due to implementing the native protocol, and the protocol code in
the old tunnel module tends to get broken every now and then, because
people forget to update the tunnel module protocol implementation
when changing the native protocol. module-tunnel-source-new avoids this
problem by using libpulse to communicate with the remote server.
