This change means that we will use album_artist even if compilation_artist
is configured, thus compilation_artist will only be used to override artist.
The unconfigurable resync period of 10 seconds was not frequent
enough to keep my own ALSA device in sync with the AirPlay stream.
Now the period is configurable. The default is still at 10
seconds, to prevent any change in behavior unless opted in by
the user.
Currently the adjustment causes a tiny "click" distortion in the
ALSA output, so it is better to make the check as infrequent as
possible, while still being frequent enough to stay in sync
over lengthy sessions of playback.
Added source_sample_rate, target_sample_rate to alsa_session.
This is a first step toward rendering ALSA at a different
sampling rate than the AirPlay stream, so that (a) we will
be able to dynamically adjust the ALSA sampling rate for an
improved sync algorithm, and (b) later, a more generalized
resampling algorithm can accommodate very different hardware
sampling rates like 22050 Hz or 48000 Hz.
Reworked alsa_session_free() so that it can be used to
tear down a partially initialized alsa_session if an
error occurs in the middle of alsa_session_make().
This simplifies the error handling logic in alsa_session_make().
This refactoring will be helpful later when resampling is added,
because more data structures will be dynamically allocated
during initialization.

Some clients aren't really capable of authenticating + some users probably
don't want to enter a password for the web interface. This option allows
clients on for instance the local network to connect without authentication.
For people who want to avoid the web login, or want to get around pairing
problems. This is also added because commit #e59a1a1 means that all
Remotes are now subject to auth, not just those with a user-agent name that
starts with "Remote".
the admin password
Changes the default for the admin password to be unset, by default only
allowing access to the WEB_ROOT files if accessed from localhost.
This also introduces a new config option to define a default playlist
folder. The default playlist folder is used by forked-daapd if the
playlist is not a full virtual path (simpifies creation of playlists
with mpd clients).
