macosx: using the updated SPMediaKeyTap, we can disable the controller on the fly and no longer need to restart VLC to do so (close #6613)

This fixes playback rate, track delay and equalizer settings.

Because somehow strings are used to represent decimals...

Fixes #6815

This reverts commit 72cae4dd.
vlc_object_kill() is in fact needed because the main loop does check
b_die.

The url handlers were declared with local scope, meaning local to the
lua script file I assume. Since the interface doesn't wait at the end
of the lua script anymore, they would fall out of scope after interface
initialization. Then, when the interface was first accessed, garbage
collection was somehow triggered, unregistering all url callbacks,
incidentally triggering a deadlock.

Fixes #6673

option can be set through the 'Playback' menu due to the lack of a 'View' menu and in the advanced preferences

changes take effect immediatelly

This is preliminary artwork, which will be improved shortly

Thanks to David Fuhrmann for the remarks

you can enable them in the 'Playback' menu (since we got no 'View' menu so far) or in the advanced preferences

note that preliminary artwork is used at this point

disabling this option will get you a separate video output window without any visible playback controls or window border. resizing is supported through hotkeys and Lion's native mechanism if available. Control the playback through menu and main window controller. Note that 'embedded' is obviously ignored in this mode.

Closes: #6802

macosx: fixed corner case, which could lead to an empty main window in case the video output closes prematurely

This should keep the volume latency under 20 ms. This will break
amplification as DirectSound is only capable of attenuation.

These interfaces must be released on the interface that created them.

It can fail in rare circumstances such as context failures (in other
words, PulseAudio daemon crash or exit).

They are in src/os2/filesystem.c.

This currently assumes that VLC uses QueryPerformanceTimer() in its
implementation of mdate(). This is currently true but... ?

Time can be greater than duration, when you scroll right to much.
Furthermore, this commit moves the duplicated code into a own method.
