wm4 f8ab59eacd player: get rid of mpv_global.opts
This was always a legacy thing. Remove it by applying an orgy of
mp_get_config_group() calls, and sometimes m_config_cache_alloc() or
mp_read_option_raw().

win32 changes untested.

wm4 3569857b75 path: don't access global option struct
The path functions need to access the option that forces non-default
config directories. Just add it as a field to mpv_global - it seems
justified. The accessed options were always enforced as immutable after
init, so there's not much of a change.

wm4 423e53ba0b m_config: introduce basic mechanism to synchronize global option updates
The way option runtime changes are handled is pretty bad in the current
codebase. There's a big option struct (MPOpts), which contains almost
everything, and for which no synchronization mechanism exists. This was
handled by either making some options read-only after initialization,
duplicating the option struct, using sub-options (in the VO), and so on.

Introduce a mechanism that creates a copy of the global options (or
parts of it), and provides a well-defined way to update them in a
thread-safe way.

Most code can remain the same, just that all the component glue code has
to explicitly make use of it first.

There is still lots of room for improvement. For example, the update
mechanism could be better.

wm4 31adc87bde global: add client API pointer to library handle
Makes the next commit simpler. It's probably a bad idea to add more
fields to the global state, but on the other hand the client API state
is pretty much per-instance anyway. It also will help with things like
the proposed libmpv custom stream API.

wm4 2e91d44e20 stream: redo playback abort handling
This mechanism originates from MPlayer's way of dealing with blocking
network, but it's still useful. On opening and closing, mpv waits for
network synchronously, and also some obscure commands and use-cases can
lead to such blocking. In these situations, the stream is asynchronously
forced to stop by "interrupting" it.

The old design interrupting I/O was a bit broken: polling with a
callback, instead of actively interrupting it. Change the direction of
this. There is no callback anymore, and the player calls
mp_cancel_trigger() to force the stream to return.

libavformat (via stream_lavf.c) has the old broken design, and fixing it
would require fixing libavformat, which won't happen so quickly. So we
have to keep that part. But everything above the stream layer is
prepared for a better design, and more sophisticated methods than
mp_cancel_test() could be easily introduced.

There's still one problem: commands are still run in the central
playback loop, which we assume can block on I/O in the worst case.
That's not a problem yet, because we simply mark some commands as being
able to stop playback of the current file ("quit" etc.), so input.c
could abort playback as soon as such a command is queued. But there are
also commands abort playback only conditionally, and the logic for that
is in the playback core and thus "unreachable". For example,
"playlist_next" aborts playback only if there's a next file. We don't
want it to always abort playback.

As a quite ugly hack, abort playback only if at least 2 abort commands
are queued - this pretty much happens only if the core is frozen and
doesn't react to input.

wm4 e0cf983e53 stream: remove interrupt callback global variables
This used global variables for the asynchronous interrupt callback.

Pick the simple and dumb solution and stuff the callback into
mpv_global. Do this because interrupt checking should also work in the
connect phase, and currently stream creation equates connecting.
Ideally, this would be passed to the stream on creation instead, or
connecting would be separated from creation. But since I don't know yet
which is better, and since moving stream/demuxer into their own thread
is something that will happen later, go with the mpv_global solution.
