This patch redefines the method associated with visibility
to ensure that the latest text is displayed when
the text control gets visible

image.jpg is a very small 1x1 image.

access_t::info.i_pos must always be updated to allow icy-meta and seeking
support.

We already do that in contrib makefile.

parsing is simpler.

Else there is no way to properly trigger meta preparsing from libvlc.

The included share folder was cut down to aclocal, autoconf, automake, gettext and libtool. Additionally, the gecko-sdk is downloaded and installed separately now. This vastly speeds up the installation process.

VlcManager and VarManager dependents on each other (a design problem)
Anyway, it is a bad idea to use instance() on any manager when deallocating ressources
as it can start anew a manager already deallocated.
Better use global variables in p_sys and act accordingly.
