By default VLC uses "vlc" as syslog ident but in case more than one VLC
is logging this may not be enough.

This commit introduces --syslog-ident parameter which allows setting of
the ident.

Based on patch by Georgi Chorbadzhiyski <gf@unixsol.org>.

Change "cycle through program SIDs" to support cycle both ways (prev/next).
With this commit, it is possible e.g. to quickly change between neighbor
program SIDs back and forth in multi-program stream like DVB streams using
default x/Shift+x keys.

Relicencing by author as it is still not altered.

This is mostly useful if the hw accelerator cannot handle the stream.
The software decoder fallback will then use frame multithreading if it
supports it.

Close #5671
Patch by "rycius" on trac

Default size was wrong.
Text was really hard to real in that tiny box: lots of line breaks and
scrollbars. Text should fit in a single viewport.
Max size has been increased to 500, screen assumed at least 640px wide.

Also do not check that playlist is non-NULL (always true).

Tested and working with automake 1.11.1, builds and works fine. Confirmed by another project as well: https://github.com/mxe/mxe/issues/128

Also removed dist-lzip because of "configure.ac:29: option `dist-lzip' not recognized"

Use parenthesis around the expression returned in LIBAVUTIL_VERSION_CHECK,
to avoid problems that can arise in future with some ways macro may be used.

Same as what has been done in LIBAVCODEC_VERSION_CHECK.

If the input dies, the state changes and the Qt input manager will
delete the input anyway.

Note that checking b_eof and b_dead here is also wrong (no memory
synchronization), but that is left for later.

This was disabled by a2deb59a and does
not even compile anymore.
