Currently there is no way to unset the default sink or source once it was
configured manually by the user.
This patch introduces the special name @NONE@, which can be used with the pacmd
or pactl set-default-sink and set-default-source commands to unset the user
configured default. When the default is unset, pulseaudio will return to the
standard default sink or source selection mechanism based on priority.

For better readability, "pactl list message-handlers" is introduced which
prints a formatted output of "pactl send-message /core list-handlers".
The patch also adds the functions pa_message_params_read_raw() and
pa_message_params_read_string() for easy parsing of the message response
string. Because the functions need to modify the parameter string,
the message handler and the pa_context_string_callback function now
receive a char* instead of a const char* as parameter argument.

The suspend-sink and suspend-source documentation for pacmd was quite
terse, so I copied the more complete documentation from pactl. I
couldn't resist doing some other minor edits along the way too.

FSF addresses used in PA sources are no longer valid and rpmlint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

the stat command should only output statistics, not info
behaviour was deprecated anno 2011 in 8ace9185 "pactl: Make stat backwards
compatible" -- fix this now

This adds two new commands to pactl:
set-default-sink
set-default-source
This command has been part of the native protocol for a long time,
no reason not to expose it in pactl.
This patch adds the ability to toggle mute for sink/sources and
sink-inputs and source outputs.
All mute commands now accept 1|0|toggle as an argument.
This is not ideal but in order to aid people using it in scripts
etc, we will maintain backwards compatibiliy here.
Also add a 'short' mode and mention in the man page that this
will ultimately become the default at some point in the future.
