Detect audio and video on CD-R and DVD-R mediums

Still not functionnal and ugly code.

* + a const fix

* configure.ac: when we use the packed attribute we really mean it so don't output useless compilation warnings.

* Unexported a few internal functions
  (playlist_ItemDelete, playlist_ThreadCreate, playlist_ThreadDestroy)
* Remove playlist_AddSDModules and merge its features into ServicesDiscoveryAdd
* Fix a bug in signaling of node destruction (fixes Qt source selector assertion failures)
* Disable unused generic devices probe code

* vlc.win32.nsi.in: Add shortcuts in seperate Utilities menu through the installer for easy access to main aout, vout and intf switches. Add NEWS.txt as Release Notes.
