player: always load playlists

Until now, you had to use --load-unsafe-playlists or --playlist to get
playlists loaded. Change this and always load playlists by default.

This still attempts to reject unsafe URLs. For example, trying to invoke
libavdevice pseudo-demuxer is explicitly prevented. Local paths and any
http links (and some more) are always allowed.

 ``--load-unsafe-playlists``
-    Normally, something like ``mpv playlist.m3u`` won't load the playlist. This
-    is because the playlist code is unsafe. (This is the same in all other
-    variations of MPlayer.)
-
-    See ``--playlist`` for details.
-
-    Note: this option will allow opening playlists using the ``playlist``
-    special demuxer. The ``--playlist`` uses different code, and supports more
-    playlist formats than the playlist demuxer. This means that for now, the
-    ``--playlist`` option should always be used if you intend to open playlists.
-    Background: the special demuxer contains newly written code, while the
-    ``--playlist`` option uses the old MPlayer code. Adding support for more
-    playlist formats to the special demuxer is work in progress, and eventually
-    the old code should disappear.
+    Load URLs from playlists which are considered unsafe (default: no). This
+    includes special protocols and anything that doesn't refer to normal files.
+    Local files and http links on the other hand are always considered safe.
+
+    Note that ``--playlist`` always loads all entries, so you use that instead
+    if you really have the need for this functionality.
 
 ``--loop-file``
     Loop a single file. The difference to ``--loop=inf`` is that this doesn't
