libquvi9: work around insane interaction between libquvi and libkdecore
The primary effect of this commit is that it fixes playback resume if libquvi 0.9 and German locale are used, and libkdecore is on the system. (See github issue #279.) libquvi uses libproxy to determine system-wide proxy settings. libproxy in turn loads libkdecore (if present) to determine KDE proxy settings. libkdecore has a global constructor, which calls setlocale(LC_ALL, ""), switching the current locale from "C" to what the user's settings. This breaks some basic C string processing functions. Note that the locale won't be set on program start, but only when libproxy calls dlopen() on its config_kde module, which actually causes libkdecore to be loaded and initialized. In particular, with German locale, snprintf() would use "," instead of "." when formatting float values, which in combination with playback resume, would lead to parse errors the next time mpv was started, which is how this issue was found. I'd consider this a bug with libkdecore or at least libproxy. No library should ever even touch locale: it might break basic expectations on C string handling functions, might override program settings, and it's not thread-safe. But this is so nasty and severe, that a quick hack to fix it hurts less. See github issue #279 and KDE bug #325902.
