Setting string options to strings over the m_option fallback (i.e.
M_PROPERTY_SET_STRING is called if the option type is CONF_TYPE_STRING)
failed. This was because m_option_parse() returns 0. 0 still means
success, but the property code tried to be clever, and considered 0 not
a success in order to disallow setting flags to an emtpy string (which
in turn is allowed, because the command line allows flag options without
parameters).
Fix this by removing the overly clever code.
This could happen when e.g. using the "set" command on options/title (a
string option), and also was a problem for the client API.
Closes#610.
This automatically allows accessing properties like chapter-list and
track-list to be read as mpv_node. This affects all properties which use
m_property_read_sub() and m_property_read_list().
Allows retrieving properties by their native values (or something close
to it), rather than having to go through string conversion. The caller
could actually just copy the value itself and then use the m_option
functions to convert it to mpv_node, but maybe it's more flexible this
way.
Some code accessed m_option.name to get the property name. (Maybe only
show_property_osd() had a significant use of it.) Remove that, and
remove setting names and dummy names as well.
The old code usually assumed that the name was set, and
show_property_osd() used it to get the proper name of deprecated
aliases.
The "vf" property was listed as "vf*". Not sure why that was done, but
it works without anyway.
This adds a mechanism for easier export of sub-properties. The following
commits will make use of it to export fine grained information about
certain things. The sub-property mechanism reduces the amount of code
needed to export a data value to 1 line.
Always pass around mp_log contexts in the option parser code. This of
course affects all users of this API as well.
In stream.c, pass a mp_null_log, because we can't do it properly yet.
This will be fixed later.
Since m_option.h and options.h are extremely often included, a lot of
files have to be changed.
Moving path.c/h to options/ is a bit questionable, but since this is
mainly about access to config files (which are also handled in
options/), it's probably ok.
