aout_TimeReport: feedback timing from audio output to audio decoder

Currently, this is used to trigger resampling in the audio "input"
(i.e. filters) as before.

/**
* Notifies the audio input of the drift from the requested audio
* playback timestamp (@ref block_t.i_pts) to the anticipated playback time
* as reported by the audio output hardware.
* Depending on the drift amplitude, the input core may ignore the drift
* trigger upsampling or downsampling, or even discard samples.
* Future VLC versions may instead adjust the input decoding speed.
*
* The audio output plugin is responsible for estimating the ideal current
* playback time defined as follows:
* ideal time = buffer timestamp - (output latency + pending buffer duration)
*
* Practically, this is the PTS (block_t.i_pts) of the current buffer minus
* the latency reported by the output programming interface.
* Computing the estimated drift directly would probably be more intuitive.
* However the use of an absolute time value does not introduce extra
* measurement errors due to the CPU scheduling jitter and clock resolution.
* Furthermore, the ideal while it is an abstract value, is easy for most
* audio output plugins to compute.
* The following definition is equivalent but depends on the clock time:
* ideal time = real time + drift
* @note If aout_LatencyReport() is never called, the core will assume that
* there is no drift.
*
* @param ideal estimated ideal time as defined above.
